The Miss Universe 2010 beauty pageant drew to a close in Las Vegas last night wit the crowning of a new winner -- Miss Mexico. Here's a look at her exciting moment, the runners-up and the other finalists who made it to the top 10.
The 59th edition of the most prestigious beauty pageant in the world (or should we say universe?) saw 83 lovely young ladies from as many countries vying for the crown.
The grand finale, hosted by rockstar Bret Michaelsand NBC correspondent Natalie Morales, took place at the Mandalay Bay Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, USA. The judges panel comprised a number of recognised faces including magician Criss Angeland actors Jane Seymour, William Baldwin andChazz Palminteri.
The top 15 contestants were judged in the swimsuit, evening gown and interview rounds and then whittled down to the top 10. Of course, there can be only one winner and this year the honour fell to Miss Mexico Jimena Navarrete, while Yendi Phillipps (Miss Jamaica) and Jesinta Campbell (Miss Australia) bagged the first and second runner-up positions respectively.
In the following pages, we bring you a look at the beautiful young ladies who took top spots, as well as the rest of the finalists who made it to the top 10.
Jimena Navarrete is all of 22, but the doe-eyed brunette stunner was able to edge out stiff competition to grab the title.
Originally from the city of Guadalajara, she studied nutrition prior to her participation in pageants.
Jimena is the second-ever Mexican winner of the Miss Universe competition, succeeding her predecessor, Lupita Jones, after a gap of 19 years. Coincidentally, Jones was also crowned the winner in Las Vegas.
