Kiara Arends is all set to represent Aruba at Miss Universe 2022 as she was officially crowned on 31st July 2022. Kiara Arends succeeds and was crowned Miss Universe Aruba 2021 Thessaly Zimmerman in a private ceremony.
Kiara is 23 years of age and a LL.M student, who also holds a degree in Bachelor of Laws. She is a social justice advocate and the founder of B.U.M.P, a charity organization benefiting upcoming mothers during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Not new to the pageant world, Kiara was also previously crowned as Miss Teen Aruba International 2017 and Virreina de las Americas at Miss Teen Americas in 2018. With her pageant experience, her stunning beauty and a strong social advocacy, Kiara will definitely be a strong contender for the international crown.
Last year, Thessaly Zimmerman represented Aruba at Miss Universe 2021 and with her stellar performance, she placed in the Top 10. Aruba won a placement at Miss Universe after more than two decades. The country is yet to pioneer its win at Miss Universe.

Her gown was fantastic
She is beautiful
Kiara ta hopi dushi! โค Aruba.
Asian & African delegates were much better than miss Aruba this year so it means I'm Not sure yet how she will go far so let's see
Watch out for Aruba!! She has a strong team behind her and is training like a Miss Universe. Sheโs coming for that crown this year ๐ฅ๐ฅ
(ps. All her videos of catwalk and her interview are from her Miss Teen days back in 2017-2018, so A LOT have changed since then ๐)
Oh My God I Think She Is The Strong Contenders….
I found a Fandom article with a former contestant labeled "Miss Teen Aruba" and I can't wait for Kiara!
To be honest Aruba has some potentials and in the past 10 years at least I believe they should have placed not always tye usual boring the same countries gets placement all the time I hope someday Aruba will have their 1st MU Victory Win after they became 1st Runner Up in 1996 coming from the Philippines.
Prediction of Miss Aruba :
Unplaced – 60%
Top 16 / 20 – 40%
Top 10 – 0%
Top 5 – 0%
Top 3 – 0%
Sash Factor in IMG era – 1%
( Last year's Miss Aruba was just a DARK HORSE but her interview skills especially during the impromptu chat with Steve Harvey and her catwalk in swimsuit help her place in the Top 10 . But this woman seems like a DOWNGRADE to me because of her catwalk and interview skills seems low . Though , her advocacy is strong . )
I Think 2011, 2016, and 2019 Should Have Been In Place….

Placement of Aruba in Miss Universe under IMG Era
2021 – Top 10
Although Aruba rarely places (1974, 1996, 2021) they have deserved more. The girls of 2011 and 2019 should have made the cut and the one of 2012 was a pleasant surprise as soon as she arrived in USA
This year's candidate is cute

Placements for Aruba are very rare. So happy that they made the cut last year.
Recently I had seen someone (or some"ones") complaining about Seng's rating the contestants lower, and though it's understandable that the ratings are as per Seng's viewpoint, but looks like this video was quite evident why Seng's ratings sometimes go down even if the contestant is "strong", and from what I have seen, when I saw in each video how the ladies walked in their gowns, I got a hint that Seng might lower down the ratings for some ladies.
Even in this video, everything was going good with the contestant's profile, then I saw her gown walk, and felt that she would be reduced to group 3, and that's what happened. In the end, the presentation skills do make up the chances, or break them.
If y'all remember, in 2020, Seng rated Paraguay group 2, and you could see in the national pageant, she walked terribly with whatever gown she was wearing, also her performance in the national pageant was dull too.
(PS: This is just my observation. I can be wrong too.)
