In a separate Instagram story, Le Roux stated that she has been balancing preparations with ‘learning to practice the law of attraction’, ahead of her appearance at Miss Universe.
‘Learning to practice the law of attraction. That my parasella will be beautiful! But practicing the law of attraction is not an excuse to be lazy and I will be working hard on it until I fly off to Miss Universe,’ said Le Roux.
Another follower asked the beauty queen for a peek at her evening gown for the international pageant, to which she answered: ‘You will have to wait and see! But it will definitely be something unexpected and I cannot wait to wear it,’ Le Roux added.
