Miss Australia, Jesinta Campbell, is flawless and fabulous.
The five finalists in this year's Miss Universe pageant, from left: Miss Philippines, Venus Raj; Miss Jamaica, Yendi Phillipps; Miss Mexico, Jimena Navarrete; Miss Ukraine, Anna Poslavska; and Miss Puerto Rico, Mariana Paola Vicente, experience the tense moments before their questions in the pageant on Monday in Las Vegas.

In 2007, when Yendi Phillipps won the Miss Jamaica World title, we are sure she had no idea that in 2010 she would come so close to being Miss Universe. Whether the loss can be attributed to the personal opinion she voiced on a controversial topic or her choice of a gown that was far eclipsed by the fabulous couture pieces worn by her competitors, Jamaicans are still feeling very proud of her today.Check out the fabulous gowns and tell us what you think.
