Miss Universe 2010, the 59th edition of the pageant, was held at the Mandalay Bay Events Center in the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino, Las Vegas, Nevada, U.S. on August 23, 2010. It was hosted by Bret Michaels and Natalie Morales. Jimena Navarrete, Miss Mexico, was crowned Miss Universe 2010 by outgoing titleholder Stefanía Fernadez from Venezuela.The young woman was a leading favorite of fans on Twitter.com and had the entire nation of Mexico routing for her.
As many people saw among the 83 contestants, the choice was difficult, but what definitely helped win the title was her evening gown. A gorgeous look that screamed sexy but classy, there isn’t any reason a real woman can’t wear this fashion at any social function.
The evening in Las Vegas was all about finding a new Miss Universe and it didn’t disappoint. The stage was full of beautiful women and the evening had plenty of moments that everyone could take home. The crown now belongs to Mexico for the year until it is once again passed off in 2011.
Fernández from Venezuela.
