Miss Japan is our new Miss Universe 2007
Miss Japan, Riyo Mori waves at the crowd after being crowned as the Miss Universe 2007.
Oh so hot! Donald Trump, co-owner of Miss Universe; Riyo Mori and her japanese beauty; Mario Lopez, hottest host.

Dressed in a black, red and purple Japanese-style gown, Riyo Mori nervously grabbed the hands of first runner-up, Natalia Guimaraes of Brazil, just before the winner was announced. Then she threw her hands up and covered her mouth, overcome with emotion.
But she gathered herself together enough to catch the diamond-and-pearl-studded headpiece valued at $250,000 as it slipped off her head when Miss Universe 2006 Zuleyka Rivera of Puerto Rico crowned her. Mori immediately placed it back on her head.
The last time Japan won the pageant was in 1959 when Akiko Kojima became the first Miss Universe from Asia.
