Miss Japan Riyo Mori caused a major boilover today by winning the Miss Universe title in Mexico City.
Miss Mori, 22, wasn't among the top fancies for the event, which also featured Gladstone teenager and Miss Australia Kimberley Busteed, who missed out on the final 15.
Kimberley was a favourite for the Miss Congeniality award, but she also lost out in that category, this time to Miss China.
Kimberley's mother Denise Busteed said far from being disappointed at the results, her daughter would have been delighted to see Miss China take the Miss Congeniality crown.
"Kimberley loved Miss China," Mrs Busteed said from her Gladstone upholstery business today.
"I'm very excited that Kim is coming home - we can hug her, and that's the main thing we want.
"It would have been nice to see her make the Top 20 and show some of those critics, but all of Gladstone is waiting to get her home.
"We're very proud - she is the most beautiful girl, and we couldn't wish for any more."
There was plenty of drama during the finals, when Miss USA fell to the ground after stepping on the hem of her dress in the evening gown section.
After the fall, she still made the top five - but was booed by the crowd, who seemingly thought her chances had fallen flat in the same way she had tumbled to the ground on the catwalk.
The 15 finalists, announced earlier today, were:
Miss Venezuela
Miss Thailand
Miss Denmark
Miss Nicaragua
Miss Angola
Miss Slovenia
Miss USA
Miss Brazil
Miss India
Miss Mexico
Miss Japan
Miss Ukraine
Miss Tanzania
Miss Korea
Miss Czech Republic
The winner of Most Photogenic was Miss Philippines.
