Miss Universe - 2008



Dayana Mendoza of Venezuela has been crowned Miss Universe 2008.

Mendoza and three other Latin Americans women made the final five at Sunday's contest. The four other finalists were Miss Colombia Tailana Vargas, Miss Dominican Republic Marianne Cruz Gonzalez, Miss Mexico Elisa Najera, and Miss Russia Vera Krasova.

Tension got under the skin of Crystle Steward of Texas, the second Miss USA in a row to fall down during the the evening gown competition at the Miss Universe pageant. She was in the top 10 but tripped on the train of her bejeweled evening gown as she made her entrance.

During the 2007 Miss Universe contest in Mexico City, Miss USA Rachel Smith also tumbled during the evening gown competition and became an unintended star on You Tube, where the video was shown over and over again.
