Colombia's Paulina Vega was crowned Miss Universe Sunday, beating out contenders from the United States, Ukraine, Jamaica and The Netherlands at the world's top beauty pageant in Florida.

The 22-year-old model and business student triumphed over 87 other women from around the world, and is only the second beauty queen from Colombia to take home the prize.

The last time Colombia won the crown was in 1958 when Luz Marina Zuluaga took home the title.

People winning prizes because they were born beautiful, as a consequence of the genetic material bestowed upon them by their parents lol. A heartfelt congratulations to Paulina. May you keep smiling, because your smile matters a lot and is a million dollar smile.
