The three most beautiful women in Greece were selected through the Star Hellas Beauty contest on Nov. 14, a glamorous and special designed place in Dream City, where 19 young women impressed the judges and the audience. Ten of the 19 ladies moved on to the second part of the show to answer questions to show their poise and intelligence, along with their beauty.

The hostess was Eleonora Meleti, though Vasiliki Tsiroyianni stole the show when she was chosen the 2012 Star Hellas. She said: “I am really excited and overcome with emotion. The night was great! I was a little worried but in a good way, something that helped me to do my best.”

Former pageant queens Evi Adam and Evangelia Ravani as well as Yiannis Spaliaras, were the group of judges. One of the great surprises of the night was the performance of the singers, Eleni Foureira and Katerina Stikoudi, who pumped up the crowd.

The runner-up, as Miss Hellas 2012 is Athina Pikraki while third went to Miss Young 2012 Eleni Kokkinou. Alternative Star Hellas is Eftihia Lazarou, alternative Miss Hellas Christina Georgopoulou and Alternative Miss Young is Fani Patouhea.
