Miss Mexico, Jimena Navarrette, is the new Miss Universe 2010. The 22-year-old former model from Guadalajara was crowned during the pageant in Las Vegas on August 23, 2010. She is only the second Miss Mexico to win the Miss Universe title. Navarrete won several prizes that come with the Miss Universe crown, including an "undisclosed salary," a luxury apartment in New York and a one-year scholarship to the New York Film Academy. The Associated Press says Navarrette did not expect to win Miss Universe. Navarrete is quoted as saying "I did feel surprised, I was like in a state of shock."

During the interview portion of the pageant, Olympic figure skater Evan Lysacek asked Navarrette how she felt about "unsupervised Internet use." Through a translator, Navarrette emphasized family values, saying "I do believe that Internet is an indispensable, necessary tool for the present time." Navarrette responded that parents should supervise children on the Internet, saying "We must be sure to teach them the values that we learned as a family."

Miss Jamaica, Yendi Phillipps, was first runner-up in the pageant. Miss Australia, Jesinta Campbell, was second runner-up. Lebanese-born Miss USA, Rima Fakih, was not among the top 15 finalists. Miss Venezuela, Marelisa Gibson, also didn't finish in the top 15. Contestants from Venezuela have taken two of the last three Miss Universe pageant titles. In 2008, Miss Venezuela Dayana Mendoza won the Miss Universe crown and in 2009, the title went to Venezuelan Stefania Fernandez.

After Navarrete's win, Mexican President Felipe Calderon issued a statement saying that Navarrete's "triumph is a source of pride and satisfaction for all Mexicans, who see in her the fruits of perseverance." When asked what she plans to promote as the new Miss Universe, Navarrete told the AP: "I want the whole world to know about my country and my people."
