Japanese danceris crowned Miss Universe 2007
Dressed in a black, red and purple Japanese-style gown, Riyo Mori nervously grabbed the hands of first runner-up, Natalia Guimaraes of Brazil, just before the winner was announced.
Then she threw her hands up and covered her mouth, overcome with emotion. But she composed herself enough to catch the diamond-and-pearl-studded headpiece valued at £125,000 (€I83,000) as it slipped off her head when Miss Universe 2006 Zuleyka Rivera of Puerto Rico crowned her.
Yesterday, Miss Peru Jimena Elias appeared on the Televisa network’s main morning newscast, begging a Mexico taxi driver to return luggage left in his car.
After she described the contents of the luggage news anchor Carlos Loret de Mola suggested she offer cash or a kiss as a reward for returning the expensive items.
