Southeast Asians among the most stylish Miss Universe 2016 candidates

Without a doubt, the Southeast Asian countries have sent their strongest batch of candidates to the 65th edition of the Miss Universe pageant.

Philippines' Maxine Medina and Thailand's Chalita Suansane are early favorites.

Indonesia's Kezia Warouw is hard to miss given her height, six feet.

Singapore's Chery Chou, Vietnam's Dang Thi Le Hang, Myanmar's Htet Htet Htun, and Malaysia's Kiran Jassal have also been social-media darlings.

All the ladies also came prepared, bringing their stylish OOTDs for the pre-pageant events. See below.

Miss Thailand Chalita Suansane

The 22-year-old Microbiology student has been nailing the OOTD game since Day 1.
