Miss Angola 2011 Leila Lopes, a
business student from the town of Benguela in her home country, was crowned
Miss Universe on Monday after dazzling a panel of judges with her beauty and
impressing them with her brain.
Lopes, 25, laughed and smiled as she
hugged runner-up Miss Ukraine Olesia Stefanko, then felt a crown placed
carefully on her head at the pageant held in Sao Paulo, Brazil.
Lopes takes her place as the winner
of the 60th annual Miss Universe pageant.
It is an annual event watched by
millions of people around the world on TV who cheer for the young women
competing in categories ranging from swimsuits to evening gowns. They also must
answer the critical question that tells the judges a bit about them.
Lopes had worn a bright bikini, then
paraded around the stage with poise in a form-fitting evening gown colored in
gold and silver sequins and feathers.
In fan voting, Lopes tallied only a
3.6 score for the swimsuit but earned a 7.2 for her evening gown. Fan voting,
however, did not count in the final tallies from nine judges.
The show was hosted by US television
personalities Andy Cohen and Natalie Morales.
