A 25 years old Venezuelan who appears on TV in her country
and is an accomplished flamenco dancer is the new Miss Universe.
Gabriela Isler was crowned Saturday night in the pageant at
a sprawling exhibition hall on Moscow’s outskirts.
As the evening came to a close, the United States’ Olivia
Culpo relinquished the Miss Universe crown and placed it upon Miss Venezuela.
Isler, who was born in Maracay, is an accomplished flamenco dancer who also
works on Venezuelan television.
In the excitement just after the announcement, the tiara
fell off Isler’s head as she was being crowned and she caught it laughing. Patricia
Rodrigues of Spain was the runner up.
