Miss Venezuela, Ivian Sarcos, is crowned Miss World 2011 in Earls Court in west London November 6, 2011. Ivian Sarcos,21, took the ultimate beauty accolade at Earls Court in London, the city where thefirst Miss World was staged in 1951.
Outside the venue, a small feminist demonstration took place, protesting at what they said was an "appalling offence against women's equality".
The beauty contest was broadcast live to more than 150 countries and was watched by a billionviewers, organisers said.
The competition has drawn criticism in recent years for being outdated and little more than achance to look good in swimwear.
But of the 122 contestants whom Sarcos beat, a quarter are graduates and more than halfspeak three or more languages.
Sarcos, who currently works for a broadcasting company, said her future ambition was to workwith non-governmental organisations and children, according to the Miss World web site.
