Miss Spain, who also won Top Model, gave a stirring speech. She said: “Just because I am beautiful on the outside does not mean I am not beautiful on the inside. I think I should be the next Miss World because I believe in strong women, I also think I have something inside my heart that I always try to give the best of me. I also believe in Beauty With A Purpose and want to continue its legacy. We can find happiness in helping each other.”

While Mireia emerged as the winner, Miss Indonesia won third place and Russia came second.

But this year’s pageant didn’t end without a bit of controversy. Telegraph UK reports that Miss Canada was banned by China from the competition for speaking about human right abuses.
