The universe has voted, and last night we chose Leila Lopes, Miss Angola, as
this year's Miss Universe. Lopes will represent the totality of
everything that exists, including space, time, energy, matter, planets,
billions and billions of stars, galaxies,
intergalactic space, and beyond. While we wait for word on whether
Lopes's reign will include black holes, we can look at entries from the national costume portion of the competition:
Miss Chile, Vanessa Ceruti
Miss Curacao, Eva Van Putten
Miss USA, Alyssa Campanella
Miss Mexico, Karin Ontiveros
Miss Romania, Larisa Popa
Miss Canada*, Chelsae Durocher
Miss Guam, Shayna Jo Afaisen
Miss Tanzania, Nelly Kamwelu
