Yulia Alipova (Miss Russia)
Yulia Alipova (; born 2 July 1990), also transliterated as Julia Alipova is a Russian beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss Russia 2014 and will represent her country at both the Miss Universe 2014 and Miss World 2014 pageants. However, on October 2014, Yulia will not represent her country in Miss World 2014 and shifted its focus to do so in Miss Universe 2014. As representative for Miss World, Anastasia Kostenko (runner-up to Alipova) replaced her to avoid scheduling conflicts (since the dates of Miss World and Miss Universe pageants have one month and eight days closer to each other).
