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.
Who are the other Winners? Continue reading for photos and list of winners!
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.

Pics of my favorite National Costumes.
What I love about Ms. South Africa is that she looks so modern but then in touch with the African culture. The neck and arm rings are very African as well as the animal skin bottoms (animal rights activist? yooohooo). The color of her clothes compliments with her blonde hair. Alluring.
According to Ric from missosology.org, our Ms. Philippines is one of the contestant to watch out for. Too bad she didn't made it to the Top 15 Ms Universe predictions list. She made it or not, she's competing anyways! And with her black Filipiniana accented with flower prints, she will surely be a winner one way or the other. For me, the dark make-up busted thw whole effect of the Filipina beauty, she also looks kind of Spanish with her feather mask. But in the totality, she is stunning! Just look how she projects -- and her finger!
Oh yeah. Ms. Mexico captured me. I love her sombrero. Just like Ms. Philippines, I didn't liked her dark make-up. If only there is an award for Best Smile, Ms. Mexico would surely win that award!
