The Miss Universe pageant was held in Nicosia, Cyprus in the year 2000. The first image in the post shows Lara in a simple white one-shoulder figure-hugging dress with which she opted to wear no jewellery.

She also shared her two – piece bikini picture, which she chose for the swimsuit round.

And then, she shared her award winning one shoulder gown, which shines in red as she teams it up with a matching stole.

The last picture shows the moment Lara Dutta was crowned Miss Universe 2000. The shot perfectly captured her happiness.

She looks so different from these 20 years ago pictures!
