Puerto Rico wins Miss Universe

MISS Puerto Rico, Zuleika Rivera, has won the Miss Universe 2006 pageant.

Beauties from 86 nations had gathered in Los Angeles for the 55th Miss Universe pageant, vying to succeed Canadian Natalie Glebova.

Glebova, Miss Universe 2005, was on hand to place the $US250,000 ($333,000) crown on Rivera's head.

The event, run by real estate mogul Donald Trump's organisation, now attracts most interest in Latin America and in the Asia-Pacific region, though it is broadcast to an estimated 600 million people in 170 countries.

Australia's Erin McNaught failed to make the final 20 in the competition, which began in Los Angeles this morning (AEST), despite being a favourite with bookmakers.
