Nicole Faria First Indian woman to Bag Miss Earth Title





In the first of its sorts, an Indian has bagged the Miss India Earth title. And the winner is none other than Nicole Faria who bagged the 2010 Miss Earth crown. The 10th edition of the Miss Earth beauty pageant was held in Vinpearl Land, Nha Trang, Vietnam on December 4, 2010.

Miss Puerto Rico Yeidy Bosquez was announced Miss Earth Fire and Miss Ecuador Jennifer Pazmino won the Miss Earth Air title. Miss Thailand Watsaporn Wattanakoon grabbed the Miss Earth Water crown.

Nicole also won the 2010 Miss Earth Talent Competition. The 20-year-old winner from Bangalore, won the title with a belly dance that combines Oriental and Middle Eastern style.

Talking about her 2010 Miss Earth title designer Nida Mehmood has mentioned to IANS "It's a proud moment for India. It's a very good thing that Indians are making a mark and an Indian woman who is both beautiful and intelligent has won such a pageant."

Talking about Nicole, Miss India World 2010, Manasvi Mamgai said, "I feel very happy for her. This is the only title India has won this year, so it's great. Nicole has got the looks, so we all had expectations that she would win."

During an interview, Nicole said, "I want to make friends and enjoy my time in Vietnam. It's not about winning or losing, but how you play the game." She has played her game right indeed! She was also one of the models who was short-listed to walk the ramp during Lakme Fashion Week in a model-hunt organised by Lakme last year.  

Faria has also shot for fashion magazines like Elle, Cosmopolitan, Vogue and others. She was also spotted walking the ramp at Lakme Fashion Week, Wills Lifestyle India Fashion Week, and Colombo Fashion Week.
