Jimena Navarrete of Mexico crowned Miss Universe

Miss Mexico, Jimena Navarrete, was crowned Miss Universe 2010 at a ceremony in Las Vegas.

Navarrete is 21 and says she loves nature, boating, riding motorcycles, spending time with her family and traveling, the Miss Universe Organization said.

First runner-up is Miss Jamaica, Yendi Phillipps, and second runner-up is Miss Australia, Jesinta Campbell.

The 22-year-old from Guadalajara, resplendent in a flowing ruby-red evening gown, said she plans to study nutritional science but has been modeling since she was 15.

She is expected to spend her year as Miss Universe drawing attention to the plight of people with HIV/AIDS and breast cancer, according to pageant officials.

The judges, clearly, were satisfied. Former Miss USA judge Alicia Jacobs, seated in the Events Center a row ahead of Miss Universe owner Donald Trump, said Navarrete was a shoo-in once the final five were announced.
