Miss Venezuela, Stefania Fernandez, has taken the 2009 Miss Universe Crown.
The 18-year-old beauty beat out 83 other contestants to win the title at a ceremony in the Bahamas, with the answer to her final question being one of her winning strengths.
The event featured performances by reality star Heidi Montag, Kelly Rowland and Flo Rida.
The new Miss Universe will spend the next year, among other things, attending fundraisers, doing charity work and promoting charities.
