Miss Universe 2008, the 57th Miss Universe beauty pageant, was held at the Crown Convention Center in the Diamond Bay Resort, Nha Trang, Vietnam on July 14 2008. Dayana Mendoza, Miss Venezuela, was crowned Miss Universe 2008 by outgoing titleholder Riyo Mori of Japan.
Dayana Sabrina Mendoza Moncada (born June 1, 1986 in Caracas, Venezuela) is a model, Miss Venezuela 2007, and Miss Universe 2008.
Mendoza has stated that she enjoys "design, photography, advertising and wave surfing." She was once kidnapped in Venezuela, and stated the trauma taught her to remain poised under pressure.
Mendoza was caught in a nude scandal after photos of her modeling naked for a jewellery firm surfaced. Officials from the Miss Universe Organization decided against penalizing her insisting that the candid photos were not pornographic, but instead were "artistic in nature, and they don't have an ounce of pornographic content to them."
