Miss world 2008 - Ksenya Sukhinova

No question, no doubt, Ksenia was the major favorite and she walked away with the crown. She is one of the most beautiful women I’ve seen in all my years covering beauty contests. Tall, poised, regal and beautiful, she did everything as expected.

In the end, the emotion is rolling as Julia Morley is about to announce the winner; she loves to surprise us. But this year, no. She saw Ksenia, the judges saw Ksenia, and they knew she was the best.
