The winners of Sloggi’s Most Beautiful Bottom in the World contest, co-sponsored by Lycra, have been chosen by a jury in Paris.
Brazilian Melanie Nunes Fronckowiak, 20, and Frenchman Saiba Bombote, 27, were the winners, taking away €15,000 in prize money, modelling contracts for the next Sloggi campaign, and insurance.
Fronckowiak is no stranger to the limelight: last year, she was runner-up in Miss Brazil Mundo, representing Rio Grande do Sul. She represented her country at Miss Tourism Queen International 2008 in China, and is a professional model.
The 45 finalists, who hailed from 26 countries, were selected from 11,200 entrants by the internet viewing public. Over 30 million votes were cast.
The contestants had to convince the jury of their modelling qualities with a choreographed item.
The jury consisted of model Adriana Sklenarikova Karembeu, astronaut Paolo Nespoli, artist Stan Murmur, FHM France editor Lomig Guillo, last year’s winners Kristina Dimitrova and Andrei Andrei, and Sloggi’s Michelle Rice and ‘Mr Sloggi’ Thomas Herreiner.
