The ladies strutted across the stage in front of millions and yet again, Venezuela earned the gold, or should we say crown.
Miss Venezuela, Stefania Fernandez, was crowned Miss Universe 2009 last night, giving her country its sixth title in the international beauty pageant. The 18-year-old became the 58th winner of the title in a show broadcast live around the world from the Atlantis, Paradise Island resort in the Bahamas.
Fernandez was selected out of five finalists chosen from 83 contestants. The first runner-up was Miss Dominican Republic, Ada Aimee de la Cruz. The remaining top five were from Australia, Puerto Rico, and Kosovo. Fernandez received the Miss Universe crown from last year’s winner, Venezuelan Dayana Mendoza.
Venezuela not only reigns supreme in winning the Miss Universe crown on numerous occasions, but it’s safe to say that the South American country has some of the most beautiful women in the world!
