Miss South Africa Rolene Strauss is crowned the Miss World 2014

Beating the stereotype of 'dumb beauty queens', 22 year medical student from South Africa Rolene Strauss was crowned the Miss World 2014 in a lavish ceremony held in London. The beautiful brunette took the crown from Miss World 2013 Megan Young, and beat 120 other contestants from around the world. Rolene juggles a variety of interests and hobbies, and says that studying medicine was a childhood dream. She is a fourth year medical student and speaks fluent English and Afrikaans. Her parents are also into medicine, a doctor and a nurse, and Rolene plans to spread education in her homeland.
The Miss South Africa wore a pale pink off-shoulder gown for the ceremony which put her cleavage on display and had a fitted bodice along with a ruffled tiered hem. Rolene wore her hair in side swept waves and added a pair of dangling diamond earrings to her style. Soft smoky eyes and glossy lips topped off her look for the occasion. Miss Hungary, Edina Kulcsar, was judged the runner-up and Miss United States, Elizabeth Safrit, came third in the 64th Annual Miss World competition.
