Congrats to Miss Angola Leila Lopes, the newly crowned Miss Universe 2011!
The 25-year-old beauty beat out more than 70 competitors from around the world to be crowned Miss Universe 2011 in Sao Paulo, Brazil on September 12, 2011 by 2010’s winner, Ximena Navarrete of Mexico (photographed crowning Lopes above).
And this glam shot from the Miss Universe organization proves that Ms. Lopes is not just a pretty face… she’s a smokin’ hot bod, as well.
So do you think you have what it takes to be a beauty queen? Here are some upcoming pageants that you can enter in and around the Washington Metro Area:
