Miss Colombia Paulina Vega, a relative pageant newcomer, has
been crowned Miss Universe, beating out first runner-up Miss USA Nia Sanchez
and contestants from more than 80 other countries at Sunday's pageant in Miami.
Vega, a 22-year-old student of business administration from
Barranquilla, Colombia, said she would wear the crown with "pride and
excitement" as she heard the news that fans in Colombia had taken to the
streets to celebrate.
Although she was far from home, Vega said she still felt the
support from local Latinos.
"It felt like home. I felt like I was in Colombia with
my people. I felt that support in every moment of the pageant," she said,
wearing a sparkling silver gown with vertical stripes at a press conference
after the competition.
Real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump, who owns
the pageant, said many predicted Vega would take the crown a few weeks ago when
contestants first arrived in Miami for the festivities.
"From the minute she walked in the building, people
said, 'She's a star,'" Trump said.

Trump said Colombia was in the running to host next year's
pageant but noted China was also a strong candidate.
Vega's win keeps the title in the hands of another Latina —
reigning Miss Universe Gabriela Isler is from Venezuela. Beauty pageants are
big business in Latin America, where girls are groomed for the contests from a
young age and where Vega said women find "a lot of pride" in
representing their country.
Crowd favorite Miss Venezuela Migbelis Lynette Castellanos
was cut after the top ten. She had tremendous support and pressure locally and
back home. The Miami suburb of Doral, which was host to the women during their
stay, is also known as "Doralzuela" for its many Venezuelan
residents.
Pageants and performance run in Vega's family. Her
grandmother, Elvira Castillo, was Miss Atlántico 1953 (Colombia) and her
grandfather is legendary tenor Gastón Vega.
But the contests leading up to Miss Universe were a first
for Vega, who is one of eight children. She also said they would be her last,
as she is eager to return to her business studies, saying: "It gives me
independence. I want to have my own company."
After Sanchez, the 24-year-old Miss USA from Las Vegas,
Nevada, the second runner-up was Miss Ukraine Diana Harkusha. Miss Jamaica Kaci
Fennell and Miss Netherlands Yasmin Verheijen were also among the top five,
emerging from the field of 88 contestants.
Fennell stood out with her short, spiky haircut and feisty
personality.
"I don't have long tresses like everyone else. I'm just
representing myself, and that's what beauty pageants are all about," said
Fennell, who wore a long, red beaded evening gown. "You don't have to look
a certain way ... and I feel like I represent that."
As Miss Universe, Vega will receive an undisclosed salary, a
luxury apartment in New York, a wardrobe and oodles of beauty products, and a
one-year scholarship from the New York Film Academy.
"It will be a dream come true to represent the woman of
today," Vega said earlier in the week. "A woman that not only cares
about being beautiful and being glamorous, but also cares about being a
professional, intelligent, hard-working person."
