Tracking Down: Miss Universe 2007

Prithwish

India's dream of winning another Miss Universe crown was dashed when the sassy Miss India Puja Gupta's name was not called out from the list of the final five gorgeous women.

Though Puja looked ravishing than ever on the ramp (seemed like the training and make-up men had toiled very hard!!) and eased through the final fifteen and final ten stages, she failed to make the cut for the top 5 which saw Japan, Brazil, Korea, Venezuela and USA battle it out for the 2007 Miss Universe crown!

Though it was great to see a contestant from Asia win but I'm sure that had Miss USA (she's got a fantastic smile, body and charisma) not slipped during the evening gown round, she could have been the next Miss Universe.

But tonight is 20-year-old Miss Japan Riyo Mori's (she loves to dance and has been dancing since she was 4!!) night. She was buoyant and confident and was personality personified throughout the contest!

Congrats Riyo! You deserved to win!
