The 2015 Miss Universe Pageant contestants are working out and preparing extra hard ahead of their big night Sunday, but that doesn’t mean they’re not dreaming of their favorite meals and snacks they’ll be having as soon as the night’s over.

Hollywood Filipino fashion designer Oliver Tolentino snapped into action to rescue the Philippines’ candidate for the Miss Universe pageant when she was facing the prospect of not having an evening gown for today’s preliminaries.
The Miss Universe Pageant airs Sunday, Dec. 20, at 7:00 p.m. on Fox. Also on board: a cast of characters that includes host Steve Harvey and actress Roselyn Sanchez (“Without a Trace”), who will be reporting backstage during the show. Eighty contestants from around the world will compete against each other at Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, with Niecy Nash, Perez Hilton, 2012 Miss Universe Olivia Culpo and former National Football League player Emmitt Smith serving as judges.
In June, the 42-year-old star was one of the several Latinos to back out of their participation in the Miss USA pageant because of Trumps negative comments about Mexican immigrants.
In a press statement sent by his Manila office, Tolentino was on vacation when he received a phone call from Las Vegas just a day before the preliminaries.
This year, for the first time ever, fans around the world can vote on each category and help decide who wins.
The Band Perry were also on TV earlier this month, performing at the 2015 Rockefeller Center Christmas tree lighting extravaganza. Sharing a pouty snap of her behind the scenes, she said: “I swear I’m a lot happier than I look in this photo”.
The fall happened during the evening gown portion of the event. “I wanted Pia to have as many choices as possible”.
