The 1st runner-up was Miss India, Parvathy Omanakuttan, and the 2nd runner-up was Miss Trinidad & Tobago, Gabrielle Walcott, with Angola (Brigith dos Santos) and South Africa (Tansey Coetzee) as finalists.
Most Beautiful Girls in the World
Miss World 2008, the 58th Miss World pageant was held at Sandton Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa on December 13, 2008. Originally, the pageant was going to take place in Kiev, Ukraine, but because of the ongoing crisis between Georgia and Russia in neighboring South Ossetia, the Miss World Organization decided to move the pageant away from Eastern Europe. 109 contestants from all over the world compete for the crown, marking the biggest turnout in the 58 years of the pageant, surpassing the previous record of 107 during Miss World 2004. Miss World 2007, Zhang Zilin of the People's Republic of China crowned her successor Ksenia Sukhinova of Russia as the brand new Miss World.
The most beautiful girl in the world Russia's Kseniya Sukhinova won the Miss World 2008 crown on Saturday in a glittering African-themed pageant where she outshone 108 other international beauties and pledged to "help people."
"And Miss World 2008 is Russia," announced Julia Morley, head of the Miss World committee that organises the event making her the most beautiful girl in the world.
The second runner up was Gabrielle Walcott of Trinidad and Tobago and the first runner up Parvathay Omanakuttan of India.
The 21-year-old blue-eyed blonde beauty, who declared shortly before her win was announced that being nervous made her "feel stronger," takes over from Zhang Zi Lin of China to become the 58th Miss World.
"I think I can help people and I want to help people and today if I walk away with this crown I will do that," Sukhinova told judges through a translator after being asked why she should be crowned the winner.
Hailing from Nizhnevartovsk in the north west of Siberia, Sukhinova was dressed in a purple gown, with a decorative neckline and flowing skirt.
She is a student pursuing an engineering degree from the Tyumen Oil and Gas University.
Sukhinova becomes the second Miss Russia to win the global event after Julia Kourochkina took the crown in 1992.
India's Omanakuttan wooed the crowd by greeting them in the Afrikaans language, spoken by many in South Africa. She also referred to heroes such as Mahatma Ghandi and South Africa's first black president Nelson Mandela, who was quoted by Trinidad and Tobago's Walcott as well.
Contestants, aged 17 to 25, were dressed by South African and Jamaican designers for the final show after a month of galas, rehearsals and even a safari on the tip of the African continent.
Trading glamour for the bush, the beauties donned T-shirts and sneakers as they gamely tramped into the bush to see lions and giraffes, play African drums, sleep in huts and cook traditional Zulu meals.
Johannesburg sought to use the event to boost its image as a world class city, despite being known for its high crime rates, while the country also hopes to benefit from the publicity ahead of staging the football World Cup in 2010.
"I think we have been able to showcase the best of what our country has to offer," said judge Lindiwe Mahlangu, the chief executive of Johannesburg tourism.
Beauties from 109 countries were whittled down to 15 semi-finalists with India, Russia, Trinidad and Tobago, Angola and South Africa among the five finalists.
South Africa's Tansey Coetzee had her home crowd on their feet shouting support as her name as a finalist was announced.
The winner of the event, broadcast live to millions of viewers in 187 countries, has to espouse "beauty with a purpose" with charity being one of the main focuses of the pageant.
"Over the years the crown that is worn by the winner is a symbol for fundraising. Miss World herself, this year, the winner from China, she's raised over 30 million dollars in her year in office," Morley said.
"So perhaps from anything else it does a lot of good things for needy children and old people, which I think is important too."
The 51-year-old competition was originally scheduled for October 4 in Kiev, but was delayed in September over security concerns due to the conflict between neighbours Russia and Georgia.
Miss World finalist who had hands and feet amputated after being hit by infection dies
Tragic: Brazilian bikini model Mariana Bridi had her hands and feet amputated after being struck down with an infection
A two-time Miss World finalist whose feet and hands were amputated after contracting a drug-resistant infection has died.
Brazilian model Mariana Bridi, 20, died early on Saturday morning from complications related to a generalised infection caused by the bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, the Espirito Santo State Health Secretariat said in a statement. The bacteria is known to be resistant to multiple kinds of antibiotics.
Health officials on Friday said Bridi was not breathing on her own and was undergoing hemodialysis at a hospital in the city of Serra.
The beauty had undergone emergency surgery this week after she fell ill with a virus that spread to her blood.
Her devastated boyfriend Thiago Simoes said at the time: 'We are all absolutely distraught and are just praying now that she can pull through.
'She fell ill on December 30 and we took her to hospital where she was misdiagnosed with a kidney stone.
'They gave her some medicine and sent her home. But two days later she started getting worse.
'We took her back to hospital and they said she had a very serious infection.
'She got more and more sick, and had no blood circulation to her limbs.
'First she lost her feet, then on Tuesday she lost both her hands.
'But she is a very strong person and we just want her to survive.'
Tragic: Brazilian model Mariana Bridi represented her country in international contests before she was struck down by a drug-resistant infection
Doctors took the heartbreaking decision to amputate her feet when the poison spread to her blood and cut off her circulation.
Then they decided they would have to remove her hands as well.
But after that surgery she suffered an internal haemorrhage and had another emergency operation on Wednesday afternoon.
Miss Bridi was a finalist in the search for Brazil's Miss World contestant in 2006 and 2007.
In 2007 she flew to China to represent her country in the Miss Bikini international competition.
She won a prize there for the most beautiful body, and came sixth out of 50 candidates.
