This was followed by the swimsuit round, inspired by angels. After the conclusion of the swimsuit round, the Top 5 was announced. Afterwards, the Top 5 presented their evening gowns, followed by the question and answer round. The Top 5 later participated in a final presentation round themed after fairies, before the final results were announced.
