MIAMI (AP) — Miss Colombia Paulina Vega, a relative pageant newcomer, has been crowned Miss Universe, beating out first runner-up Miss USA Nia Sanchez and contestants from more than 80 other countries at Sunday's pageant in Miami.
Vega, a 22-year-old student of business administration from Barranquilla, Colombia,
said she would wear the crown with "pride and excitement" as she heard
the news that fans in Colombia had taken to the streets to celebrate.
Although she was far from home, Vega said she still felt the support from local Latinos.
"It
felt like home. I felt like I was in Colombia with my people. I felt
that support in every moment of the pageant," she said, wearing a
sparkling silver gown with vertical stripes at a press conference after
the competition.
