Mireia Lalaguna Royo, 23, from Spain has been crowned Miss World 2015.
She received the crown on Saturday night in Sanya, China marking the first time Spain won in 65 years the competition has been running.
Lalaguna already has a pharmacology degree and is planning to get a master’s degree in nutrition.
Russia’s Sofia Nikitchuk was the runner-up and Indonesia’s Maria Harfanti came in third.
This year’s Miss World competition was riddled in controversy after China barred Canadian contestant Anastasia Lin from entering the country.
Lin claims she was banned because she’s been publicly critical of Chinese human rights abuses in the past and because she practices Falun Gong, a spiritual practice persecuted in China.
