China’s Yu Wenxia has been crowned the “2012 Miss World”.

Yu, 23, a music student, beat out 115 other contestants to become the second Chinese woman to be awarded the title, after Zhang Zilin in 2007.

Last year’s winner, Ivian Sarcos of Venezuela, handed over her crown to Yu, who wore a sparkling blue dress, in the futuristic Dongsheng stadium in the northeastern city of Ordos.
