SHE has talked the talk and now it is time for Miss Universe Great Britain to walk the walk.
Now the eyes of the world will be on Hampshire-born Grace Levy as she takes part in the Miss Universe 2014 preliminaries tonight.
The 25-year-old who grew up in Titchfield has already turned a few heads with her fun-loving antics including doing Michael Jackson's famous moonwalk.
Tonight Grace will strut her stuff in her swimwear and evening gown as part of the Preliminary Competition, along with 88 contestants from across the globe in the world-famous beauty pageant owned by one of the richest men in the world, Donald Trump.
In her official Miss Universe interview, Grace spoke of her Hampshire roots, she said: “I am from a little village of Titchfield. It is an old quant village, its got lots of crooked Tudor buildings, I grew up there, my family still live there and it is somewhere that is very special to me.”
In the interview she goes on to talk about when she did work experience as a milk maid, her love of Michael Jackson, and how it feels to take part in the world-famous pageant.
Grace Levy, added: “Being here alone means so much to me, but also meeting all the girls, there is so many different cultures here, everyone has got their own story to tell.”
The final will be on January 25 at the FIU Arena at Florida International University, which will be aired to millions across the world, if Grace wins she will receive an employment contract with the Miss Universe Organisation.
The preliminaries will be streamed on missuniverse.com at midnight.
