A seventeen-year-old from Trujillo, Venezuela was crowned Miss Venezuela 2008 before adoring fans on Wednesday. In a country that takes its beauty contests very seriously - the current Miss Universe is Venezuelan - the Miss Venezuela pageant is synonymous with national pride.
Estefania Fernandez has been crowned Miss Venezuela at the tender age of 17. But at 5ft 9ins tall and with a perfect 35in - 24in - 35 in figure, the teenager from Trujillo measures up with the best.
The country prides itself on winning global beauty contests so Miss Fernandez will be under pressure to perform at the Miss Universe finals.
Venezuela holds a world record of five Miss World, five Miss Universe and four Miss International crowns.
But at 5ft 9ins tall and with a perfect 35 - 24 - 35 figure, the teenager from Trujillo measures up with the best.
She said: "Always, I have felt like a person equal to any other, not more or less than the next person. Humility is a virtue of being human.
"One must never lose this, because if you lose this you lose a big part of your essence of how to be human."
She had already won "Miss Face", "Miss Elegance" and "Miss Body" before the final night of the contest. She will now take a shot at the Miss Universe title, and if she can pull it off, it would be the first back-to-back victory for two women from the same country.
Venezuela holds the world record for success in beauty pageants, the South American nation has won five Miss World, five Miss Universe and four Miss International crowns.
