Gearing up for Coronation Night: Breathtaking Miss Universe 2012 Swimsuit Photos [SLIDESHOW]

To prepare you for this year's most prestigious beauty pageant happening in Las Vegas' Planet Hollywood tomorrow, look back at the gorgeous swimsuit photos of some of the delegates.

This year's Miss Universe 2012 swimsuit competition can be described in three words: "pastel," "tan," and "sexy."

A lot of those three words were shown by the lovely delegates who walked down in candy colored swim suits with their sculpted body and caramel-skinned glow. 

Miss Bahamas, Celeste Marshall, and Miss Botswana, Sheilla Molelekwa stunned with their natural island splendor and pastel-colored bikinis that stood out against their beautiful caramel skin tones. Standing tall and looking lean, Great Britain's Holly Hale and Russia's Elizabeta Golovanova walked in their swim suits and evoked the vibe of runway models during a spring/summer fashion show.

A variation of body types broke the image of a beauty queen's need or unwritten requirement to be tall. Miss Nigeria, Isabella Ayuk, Miss Ethopia, Helen Getachew had curvy, petite frame similar to Miss Sri Lanka's Sabrina Herft. The three candidates looked lovely in their swimsuits and proudly showed their curves.

Caribbean beauty, Miss Jamaica, Chantal Zaky's bright disposition and sunny vibrations are evident as she walked in a purple and orange bikini. It will be no surprise if men go crazy once they see Chantal walking around the beach looking like how she did during the swim suit competition.

Speaking of island beauty, South Africa's Melinda Bam and Ireland's Adrienne Murphy showed off their sun-kissed tans, which made the swim suit competition seem as if the ladies just got off from a tropical vacation.
