Yara Khoury Mikhael is Miss Lebanon 2011-2012.
Yara Khoury Mikhael competed with 15 other Lebanese girls for the title in an event held in Beirut Souks on July 10th.
Other winners included 1st runner up Carolina Nassar, 2nd runner up Sonia Lynn Gabriel and 3rd runner up Paloma Mady.
Yara Khoury Mikhael was born on November 6, 1992 in Congo. She later returned to Lebanon where she attended the French school Grand Lycee Franco Libanais, before joining the Lebanese American University in Beirut. Her father is a millionaire expat who works in the Hotel Management sector.
Like every year after the ceremony, some were happy with the results and others quite upset blaming a corrupted Jury. Yara Khoury Mikhael is very beautiful and deserves the title, yet many found it interesting how Paolo Bongia gave a very low score (9.4-9.3) to every single other candidate except for Yara who received 9.9.
