After two hours of entertainment, emotion and nerves, Miss Venezuela won out over another Latin girl, the Dominican Ada Aimee de la Cruz, 23, a dazzling beauty who in the end was chosen as first runner-up.


The representative of Kosovo, 18-year-old Gona Dragusha, was second runner-up. Next came the third runner-up, Australia’s Rachael Finch, 21, while fourth was another Latin American, Miss Puerto Rico, Mayra Matos Perez, 20.


The three representatives of Spanish-speaking countries managed to come through the test of the semifinals and continued to show Latin beauties’ dominance of the Miss Universe contest.


The new Miss Universe will have a New York apartment for her use during her reign and will receive a scholarship worth $100,000 to study at the New York Film Academy, plus an annual salary.


The many gifts included an entire wardrobe of bathing suits and evening gowns designed by Puerto Rican modiste Carlos Alberto Otero, who designed the cocktail dress that the misses wore at the opening of the finals.
