Congratulations Miss Venezuela!

A 22-year old lass from Venezuela won the prestigious Miss Universe Pageant, held at Nha Trang, Vietnam some few hours ago. Her name is Dayana Mendoza, a model and interior designer student, who measures 5'10 in height. She wore an elegant yellow evening gown, when she was crowned the winner.

Before the final announcement, Miss Mendoza was joined by the representatives of Colombia, Dominican Republic, Mexico and Russia in the top five posts.

This year's prize package includes cash, world travel, a rent-free luxurious New York apartment, a year-long contract to represent the Miss Universe and a giftbag filled with lots of designer dresses, shoes and accessories.
