RIYO MORI, a 174cm beauty is the new MISS UNIVERSE 2007..One thing I noticed is that Miss India did not make it to the Top 5 winners…And Korea and Japan was. Incredible. Its the first for the MISS UNIVERSE 2007 pageant I guess for 2 Asian countries to be in the TOP 5. Some sites are saying RIYO MORI is 19 and some say 20. Not sure which is correct. Good win tho…Glad to see an Asian girl win the title of MISS UNIVERSE 2007 and she sure is pretty…source
An incident also happened where Rachel Smith, Miss USA 2007 slipped and fell. The first Japanese who won the MISS UNIVERSE was in 1959 when Akiko Kojima became the first Miss Universe from Asia.
AGE: 20 | HEIGHT: 5′8 | HAIR COLOR: BROWN | EYE COLOR: BROWN
Ms. Mori is 20 years-old and has been dancing since she was 4. She loves traveling the world and enjoys visiting museums and watching musicals.
The judging panel for the 2007 Miss Universe Pageant included NBC’s “Heroes†James Kyson Lee, NBC’s “Deal or No Deal†briefcase model Lindsay Clubine, Dallas Cowboys quarterback Tony Romo, rocker Dave Navarro, World and Olympic figure skating champion Michelle Kwan, fashion designer Marc Bouwer, Novela Star Mauricio Islas, “Project Runway†judge and Elle magazine fashion director Nina Garcia, and former Miss Universes Dayanara Torres (1993) and Christiane Martel (1953).
Throughout the two-hour event, contestants from 77 countries around the world competed in three categories: swimsuit; evening gown; and personality interview. Zuleyka Rivera, Miss Universe 2006, crowned her successor at the conclusion of the two-hour primetime telecast, before an estimated worldwide viewing audience of more than 1 billion in over 170 countries.
