Anindya Kusuma Putri is Puteri Indonesia 2015!

Miss Central Java, Anindya Kusuma Putri finally broke the famous 'curse' of that ‪‎GADIS Sampul‬ alumnae can't advance into Top 5 at Puteri Indonesia pageant tonight.

She became the first GADIS Sampul alumna to place in the Top 5 in the history of Puteri Indonesia ever! The highest achievement GADIS Sampul alumna has ever achieved was Top 6 finalist landed by Pocut Israita (Finalist, 1996) at Puteri Indonesia 2000.

Not only Top 5 actually, Putri made it into the Top 3 and win the title of Puteri Indonesia 2015! Here she comes, our Miss Universe Indonesia 2015!

Congratulations to Putri, GADIS magazine and the entire Femina Group (proud to be your loyal follower for years since my childhood)!

P. s.

Thank you so much Elvira Devinamira for a wonderful year! Best of luck in your future endeavors!
