Riyo Mori came, saw and won Miss Universe 2007 against all the odds. She won the crown of Miss Japan 2007 earlier and became the representative of
There is a shortage of information about Riyo Mori in Internet. Perhaps, most people did not think that she would win the crown of Miss Universe 2007. Another problem is that many information about her most probably is in Japanese language, not in English. So, I could not know much about her family background. However, it seems that she enjoyed dancing from a very early age and started dancing from the age of 4.
Riyo Mori was born in
Riyo Mori was deeply influenced by her family. I have already written about the influence of her mother and her grandmother in her life. Riyo Mori feels that since she was raised up in a loving family, she has reached to the position she is now. She said in Miss Universe:
"I learned how to always be happy, to be patient and to be positive, and this is what I want to teach to the next generation."
I have gone through many materials available in Internet in the last 24 hours and I felt that she has got an inner strength which most people of her age don’t have. She was born in December 24, 1986. So, her sun sign is Capricorn. I am not an expert of astrology but I guess that Capricorns are good at fighting and patience is one of their strong weapons that lead them to success in life.
Beauty of Riyo Mori
About the beauty of Riyo Mori, I would not say that she is one of the most beautiful Japanese women. I feel that she is not a very pretty woman in the conventional sense of beauty. However, it is her positive attitude and extrovert personality that make her very attractive. Her height is 5'8 and she is much taller than average Japanese women. The color of her eyes and hair are brown. Her eyes talk to you and they have a sense of emotion. Her eyes reflect that she is not indifferent towards life.
Of course, she has a nice figure. I mean this is something that every contestant of Miss Universe has. However, what caught my attention is that she looks beautiful in almost all kind of dresses. She looks hot in swimsuit. She looks confident and smart in sober in evening gown. She looks confident in every position.
From Miss Japan 2007 to Miss Universe 2007
Unfortunately, I could not find the exact date in which Riyo Mori became Miss Japan 2007. Most probably, it was 15 March 2007 that she became the representative of
Riyo Mori was not considered to be the top favorite until the moment she won the crown of Miss Universe 2007. It came to a shock to everyone and it was considered to be a big upset. She continued her dreaming run against all the odds and she defeated all the top favorites.
Riyo Mori has not only the crown of Miss Universe 2007 but also she will get a number of facilities. For one year, she will wear a crown worth over $250,000. She will travel different parts of the world as a Miss Universe ambassador. A modeling contract will surely help her in future. Now, opening a dance school will become easier for her.
