Nadine Chandrawinata (born May 8, 1984) was Puteri Indonesia (Miss Indonesia Universe) or literally Princess Of Indonesia 2005, and a delegate representing Indonesia in the 2006 Miss Universe Pageant. She was the second Miss Indonesia Universe to participate in the pageant (preceded by Artika Sari Devi) after a long hiatus in 1996. Her father is Javanese - Chinese and her mother is German. She has two siblings, twins Marcel and Mischa, who are also models and actors. She measures 175 cm (5 feet 9 inches) in height and 60 kg (122 lb) in weight.
On July 19, 2006, Nadine was reported to the police by the Islamic Front Defenders (Front Pembela Islam) for her involvement in the 2006 Miss Universe Pageant. She was accused of breaking the Code of Law 281, edict number 02/U/1984, regarding Cultural and Educational conduct. Indonesian law forbids any kind of involvement in beauty pageants and considers such to be indecency. Nadine was one of several people who were reported for this misdemeanor, and others included Miss Indonesia 2004 Artika Sari Devi and the Miss Indonesia Foundation. The issue, however, seemed to have fizzled out over time and nothing ever came of it. According to a Miss Universe 2006 interview, she considers Mother Teresa her idol and wants to work for UNICEF in the future. Despite all the controversy, she attained runner-up position for National Costume thanks to Anne Avantie, who designed kebaya Kencono Wungu. And because of her warm personality, she also reached runner-up for Miss Congeniality.
She starred in an Indonesian drama movie, Reality, Love, and Rock'n Roll, with fellow actor Herjunot Ali, who happens to be Agni Pratistha's boyfriend. She was an F1 ambassador for the 2006 Petronas Malaysian F1 Grand Prix. She is also a commercial star of Kiranti.
