Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza Crowned Miss Universe 2008
Dayanna Mendoza from Venezuela has snatched the Miss Universe 2008 title out of 80 hopefuls in the city of Nha Trang in Vietnam.
Our very own Aussie girl, Laura Dundovic, made the semi-finals and got as far as the final 10 ladies.
The 21 year old is a psychology student from Sydney and although she walked away empty-handed, she was graceful and will surely enjoy a wonderful career in modelling. Unfortunately, Miss USA was not so graceful and either were the American newspapers. Crystle Stewart from Texas realised her worse fears as she tripped on her evening gown's train and hit the ground. She maintained her composure but the media have been extremely harsh as this is the second year in a row that the Miss USA contestant has slipped at this pageant.
The 15 semi-finalists were :
Australia, Colombia, Czech Republic,
Dominican Republic, Hungary, Italy, Japan, Kosovo, Mexico, Russia, South
Africa, Spain, United States, Venezuela, Vietnam
The Final 10 :
Australia, Colombia, Dominican Republic, Italy,
Kosovo, Mexico, Russia, Spain, United States, Venezuela
