A 25-year-old Venezuelan television presenter, Gabriela Isler, was crowned Miss Universe in Moscow in a scintillating ceremony on Saturday.
Judges, including rock star Steven Tyler from Aerosmith, picked the winner from a total of 86 contestants at the show, watched by millions of viewers around the world.
Last year's winner Olivia Culpo of the United States placed a diamond crown on the head of Isler, who wore a silver rhine-stone speckled evening dress.
Isler's triumph was the seventh Miss Universe win for Venezuela, where beauty pageants are a major source of national pride.
After the show, she beamed and waved to journalists, wearing the Miss Universe sash and standing next to the show's owner, US tycoon Donald Trump.
"I feel a lot of emotions," she said."I'm still in shock. I feel so blessed, so happy to be here." "It's been a lot of fun and a great success," said Trump.
