LEON NEAL/AFP/Getty Images(LONDON) — Miss South Africa Rolene Strauss was crowned Miss World 2014 in London on Sunday.
The 22-year-old medical student was the favorite to take the title.
Miss Hungary Edina Kulcsár followed in second place and Miss United States Elizabeth Safrit came in third.
From Albania to Zimbabwe, 121 contestants competed for the title. But one country was not represented: Honduras.
The bodies of Miss Honduras, María José Alvarado, and her sister were found buried by a river in the northern part of the Central American country last month on the day before she had planned to leave for London to prepare for the pageant. Police are accusing Alvarado’s sister’s boyfriend with their murders.
