Miss Peru, Maria Julia Mantilla Garcia, has been crowned Miss World 2004 at a glittering event held in China.
Miss Dominican Republic Claudia Julissa Cruz Rodriguez was runner-up, and Miss USA Nancy Randall came third.
Miss Peru beat off 106 contestants to take the crown from 2003 winner, Miss Ireland, Rosanna Davison, the daughter of singer Chris de Burgh. This was the first time audiences could take part, voting by phone, SMS messaging, interactive TV and online.
Wearing a turquoise gown, the 20-year-old winner - who says she wants to be a high school teacher - blew kisses as she collected the crown and a prize of $10,000 (£5,144).
"I'm very surprised but I'm also very happy," she told reporters afterwards. She said she wanted to do charitable work as Miss World and "help all the people that I can", the Associated Press quoted her as saying.
Congratulations to her!
Miss Peru wins Miss World 2004! 
The Belgian girl looks very pretty.
