Miss Japan Riyo Mori is the new Miss Universe and she is now the most beautiful woman officially. She defeated all the contestants in Miss Universe 2007 and she did it in style. Many people are now searching about Riyo Mori in Internet and I hope to write more about her in the coming days. This is second time that a Japanese girl won Miss Universe.

Globe and Mail reported:

Miss Japan, Riyo Mori, was crowned Miss Universe 2007 on Monday in a contest marked by protests, a banned dress and the withdrawal of one beauty queen on the ground the pageant degrades women.

Mori, 20, the 56th winner of the title, was given her $250,000 (U.S.) diamond-and-pearl crown by last year's winner, Zuleyka Rivera of Puerto Rico, watched by a live audience of 10,000 and some 600 million television viewers worldwide.

A lifelong ballet dancer from a village near Mount Fuji, Mori wore a striking black gown with coloured lapels for the final. Winning surpassed the ambition of her grandmother, who told her as a child she wanted her to be Miss Japan one day.

So, you can see that Riyo Mori’s grandmother inspired her to go for it. Her grandmother’s dream has come true. Riyo Mori is not only Miss Japan but also Miss Universe 2007 today.

Many congratulations to Riyo Mori. Miss Universe 2007 was full of controversy but that should not undermine Riyo Mori’s success.
