Miss South Africa, Rolene Strauss has been crowned the world’s most beautiful at the 2014 Miss World beauty pageant, beating 125 other stunning ladies to the coveted prize.
The 22-year-old beauty was crowned onstage at the competition’s grand final at the Excel London ICC Auditorium on Sunday (December 14). Strauss, the daughter of a doctor and nurse, is a fourth-year medical student.
The event has been overshadowed by the murder of Miss Honduras, 19-year-old Maria Jose Alvarado, who was shot dead with her sister in their homeland last month on the day she was due to travel to London.
