Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and today, this phrase is more true than ever. As long as one feels good about oneself, is happy and confident with who they are, then it is easiest to exude beauty. Someone who demonstrates the above is Siera Bearchell, the current Miss Canada, who strutted her stuff at the Miss Universe pageant last weekend with a stunning look. Although her sculpted figure may not fit the typical slender body type we are accustomed to seeing in such contests, we confidently say that her body is impactful. She is a classic beauty:

This is the generation of body diversity. This is the time we start working together to redefine the global vision of beauty. THANK YOU for every message, every comment and every story you have shared with me. 🙏🏻 I was proud to the point of tears to represent myself, my country, and the women of the world. I promise you, this is just the beginning.🇨🇦🙌🏻 #confidentlybeautiful #missuniverse #misscanada

And she is proud of her body:

"I had to reclaim my body as my own. In doing so, I understood as a woman, I had a greater purpose- to REDEFINE beauty."- @theashleygraham • I am SO excited that @theashleygraham will be one of the hosts when @missuniverse airs LIVE on Jan. 29 on FOX. She is one of my greatest inspirations for sharing a body positive message and celebrating the beauty of every woman. #missuniverse

She doesn't care about not having the body that the media demands:

She only cares about feeling comfortable…

I wouldn't mind being here right now. ☀️ The wind was obviously drying off my sweaty neck in this moment 😎💦

Her body is definitely impactful:

Sure, there have been criticisms…

For us, she wins any contest:

In 4 weeks time, I'll be in Poland wearing the Canada sash and starting the 3 week journey to the @misssupranational crown. I know this will be an incredible experience and I'm excited to meet other ambitious young women from around the world. 🌎 Although only one girl can walk away with the title of Miss Supranational 2015, the connections and friendships we will make will last a lifetime. The countdown is on!🕔🇨🇦💁🏻‍♀️ . 📷 @aliciamphoto MU: @kelseyrae_mua #misssupranational #misssupranational2015 #misssupra #misssupranationalcanada
