Miss Gibraltar Kaiane Aldorino, 23, won the Miss World 2009 pageant held on Saturday, December 12, 2009, at the Gallagher Convention Centre in Johannesburg, South Africa.Aldorino bested 111 other gorgeous beauties from around the world, including Mykiru's top favorite Perla Beltran from Mexico who finished 1st Runner Up.
It was a tough fight due to high quality of candidates but visibly missing in the Top 16 semi-finalists were two big favorites, the candidates from Puerto Rico and Barbados. The inclusion of Misses Poland and Kazakhstan was the biggest surprise of the pageant.
5 Asians made it to the semis, but none of them reached the Top 7.
