Miss Venezuela Gabriela Isler was crowned Miss Universe 2013 during the coronation night held at the Crocus City Hall in Moscow, Russia on November 9 (November 10, Philippine time).
The 25-year-old TV personality from Maracay bested 85 rivals including the Philippines’ Ariella Arida as 3rd runner-up; Miss Spain, 1st runner-up; Miss Ecuador, 2nd runner-up; and Miss Brazil, 4th runner-up.
The judges for the main show were Aerosmith singer Steven Tyler, Russian pop king Philipp Kirkorov, Chef Nobu, Ice skating gold medalist Tara Lipinski, Italo Fontana, model Anne V, Carol Alt and Farouk Shami. US TV presenter Thomas Roberts and ex-Spice Girls Mel B hosted the pageant.
Miss Venezuela's winning answer to judge Steven Tyler's question "What is your biggest fear and how do you plan to overcome it?" is "For me while one may have a lot of fears but nonetheless this is nothing negative. I believe we should overcome all of our fears and this in turn would make us much stronger and mostly we can become stronger persons. As soon as we overcome our fears and we are sure of ourselves then we can face any challenge."
Ariella meanwhile, believes the solution to the lack of jobs among young people starting their careers around the world is education.
"For the people who have lack of jobs, I do believe that we people should invest in education and that is my primary advocacy because if we all know that everyone of us is educated and well aware of what we are doing, we can land into jobs and we could land our careers in the future. So education is a primary source and it's a ticket for a better future."
