MISS Bahamas didn’t reach the top 15 in last night’s Miss Universe contest - but Miss Jamaica represented the Caribbean region, just missing out on the top three.
Miss Colombia, Paulina Vega, was crowned as the Miami pageant’s winner, beating out contestants from 88 other countries.
Miss USA Nia Sanchez of Las Vegas, Nevada, and Miss Ukraine Diana Harkusha were the runners-up.
Vega is from Barranquilla, Colombia and is studying business administration. She said the contests leading to MIss Universe were the first she’d participated in and will be her last as she’s eager to return to her studies in business administration.
The 22-year-old is the granddaughter of a legendary tenor, Gastón Vega.
Earlier this week, she said, “It will be a dream come true to represent the woman of today.”
Tomii Culmer, Miss Bahamas, was eliminated before the final 15, but Kaci Fennell, Miss Jamaica reached the top five.
