It’s been quite a while since we posted a “Hottest Women From this Part of the World” listicle, eh? So yeah, we decided to make another one. This time from the Dominican Republic. Yup, a country with really, really attractive women. You should go there and see for yourself. But if you can’t travel, well… That is why we come up with listicles like this.
You see, some Dominican women have dominated the entertainment and fashion industry without you even knowing. So here they are, in no particular order of hotness.
Claudia Cruz

After representing Bonao and placing only as the fifth runner-up in the Miss Dominican Republic 2004 pageant, which was won by Larimar Fiallo, Cruz decided to take another chance at the new revamped, and independent Miss Mundo Dominicana contest. For the first time ever the contest would be a reality show, the semifinalists being narrowed down by judges and the finalists and winners based on a public vote. Having received 66% of the votes, Claudia was named the winner on October 10, 2004, only a month before her departure from the contest. Despite the lack of time to prepare herself for the Miss World pageant, she won the title of Continental Queen of the Caribbean and finished as the first runner-up to the eventual winner, María Julia Mantilla from Peru.
Cruz is the first Dominican beauty queen to have been elected by public vote. She is also the second-highest placed Dominican ever in the Miss World contest as she placed second, only Mariasela Álvarez has placed higher as she was the winner of Miss World 1982.

Katrina Taylor
This lady seems to prefer just using the shortened version of her first name. It’s a gimmick. Trina was born in 1974, and the reason for the single name is that she is an American rapper. You know, like Ice. Just a name.
