Last month, Olivia Yacé of Côte d’Ivoire announced her resignation as Miss Universe Africa and Oceania. In her statement, she explained that the decision was rooted in staying true to her personal values and continuing to inspire young women, particularly within African and Afro-descendant communities.

Now, Olivia Yacé is making a powerful comeback as a Miss Cosmo International judge. On December 16, fan pages shared videos of her arrival in Vietnam, where she expressed excitement and gratitude to supporters worldwide.

“I am super excited. I’ve been seeing all your messages, all the Cosmo fans. You guys are amazing. Thank you for the love, and I’m excited for the days to come,” she said.

For her arrival, Olivia opted for a chic all-white ensemble. She wore a patterned blouse with a round neckline, sleeveless cut, front closures, and a figure-hugging peplum-inspired design. The look was paired with matching micro-mini shorts featuring a high-rise waistline.

She completed the outfit with embellished black pumps, bracelets, rings, a sleek analogue watch, and delicate hoop earrings. Her hair was styled loose and slicked back with a hairband, while her makeup featured a dewy base, glossy deep plum lips, blushed cheeks, radiant highlighter, and feathered brows.
