Among 80 competitors at the Miss Universe Competition, Paula Vega, representing Colombia, beat everyone in the field, including first runner up Nia Sanchez (Miss USA) for the diamond tiara.
The 22-year-old college student captivated the audience with her beauty.
“From the minute she walked in the building, people said, ‘She’s a star,'” said Real estate mogul and reality TV star Donald Trump, who was one of the many stars attending the event.
Vega is not only pretty face as she is also hard at work finishing her final semester as a business administration student at the Universidad Javeriana in Bogota, Columbia.
Raised with seven brothers and one sister by a cardiologist, and the granddaughter of legendary tenor Gatson Vega, the winner enjoys spending spare time with her friends and family.
Vega’s win gives Latin America back-to-back champions, as Miss Universe 2013 was from Venezuela, and although she was away from home, Vega said she felt the support from the Latin Community.
“It’s a dream come true to represent the woman of today,” said Vera. “A woman that not only cares about being beautiful and being glamorous, but also cares about being a professional, intelligent, hard-working person.”
As Miss Universe 2014, Vega will receive an undisclosed salary, a wardrobe and beauty products, a one-year scholarship from the New York Film Academy and a luxury apartment in New York.
