Angola's Leila Lopes crowned Miss Universe 2011

Sao Paolo: Miss Angola Leila Lopes on Tuesday was crowned Miss Universe 2011 in a star-studded ceremony in Brazil's Sao Paolo. India's hopes were dashed early into the competition's final rounds after Indian contestant Vasuki Sunkavalli failed to make it to the top 10.

Lopes was a strong contender and raised hopes for her country after making it to the final five contestants. She beat 88 other competitors at the Sao Paulo pageant.

China's Luo Zilin came in fourth, Philippines' Shamcey Supsup was third, Brazil's Priscila Machado second and Ukraine's Olesia Stefanko was picked first runners up.

Vasuki, a 26-year-old from Hyderabad, representing India at the pageant in Brazil this year. She is a lawyer by profession. She was crowned I Am She – Miss Universe India on July 15, 2011 in Mumbai.

Vasuki is also a state level basketball player and a trained dancer. After the top 10 list of finalists was announced Vasuki tweeted "sorry. if I upset many. I did give it my best shot. may the most deserving girl win.."

In the top 10 were Australia, Costa Rica, France, Ukraine, Portugal, Panama, Philippines, Angola, China and Brazil.

This year marks the 60th anniversary of the pageant that has always picked out the most beautiful of women, matching brains with poise and grace.

This year, the event was held at the Credicard Hall, in Sao Paulo, Brazil. Miss Universe 2010 - Ximena Navarrete of Mexico will be passing her crown on to the next beauty.

The event witnessed the participation of contestants from 89 countries surpassing the previous record of 86 participants – as witnessed in 2006.
