Miss World 2010
The newest Miss World is from the United States.
Alexandria Mills, a soft-spoken 18-year-old, was named the winner in Saturday night's contest in southern China. The tall blonde was a relative surprise winner after speculation focused on other contestants.
Second place went to Emma Wareus of Botswana, and Adriana Vasini of Venezuela came third.
The host country's own contestant, Tang Xiao, also was among the final five.
According to a brief biography on the Miss World website, Mills calls Louisville, Kentucky, her hometown, and she recently graduated from high school. She would like to become a teacher.
"I've never met a stranger and enjoy meeting new people," she says in the bio.
For the final, she was wearing a shimmering ivory-colored dress slit up the leg.

Spring Fashion Hot New Colors
Seafoam Green
This green pastel instantly refreshes earth-toned basics and complements fair to dark skin tones. For a crisp office look, pair a silky, mint-colored blouse with a beige skirt and nude patent heels. Go even more luxe by accenting a honeydew cap-sleeved dress with a gold necklace or bangles. While the color is usually designated to daytime outfits, a sparkly clutch and statement jewelry can take a simple sheath into night.
f2fashion Lavender
Since purple's softer sister delivers a touch of class to almost any look, it's the best shade to try a sheer dress style with. Round out the whimsical ensemble with ballet flats during the day and strappy, pearl-colored sandals in the evening. Up the romance factor even further with tops and dresses adorned in ruffles or floral embellishments. The brighter, the better is the rule of thumb for dark skin tones while fair complexions complement lighter shades of lilac.
f2fashion Silver
Gray's sassy and more lustrous cousin, silver makes any look more festive. For an evening out, turn heads in a shimmering draped dress paired with platform heels in a similar tone. For the office, brighten basic black with a silver cardigan or choose a tailored shift in a slightly muted sheen. Since silver is naturally luminous, it looks flattering against fair to dark skin tones. Resist the urge to pile on extra jewelry and let the color shine.
f2fashion Acid Yellow
Don't let fluorescent colors intimidate you—this vibrant shade of yellow is meant to liven your look, not distract from it. Make a sunny statement in a neon shift paired with heather grey sandals and a matching clutch. The color even works at the office—brighten a dark suit with a lemon-kissed camisole or a blouse with a splash of citrine. While acid yellow looks ideal against olive and dark skin tones, fairer complexions can opt for softer versions of the eye-catching hue.
f2fashion Blush
This ultra-feminine shade looks best when paired with soft neutral separates during the day and bright iridescent accessories at night. To give an outfit more texture, experiment with lace, chiffon or suede pieces. Want to go bolder? Find a blush-colored dress or blouse with embellishments such as paillettes or beading. Believe it or not, the pastel shade works for all skin tones, giving fair to dark complexions a rosy glow.
f2fashion Scarlet
Once considered strictly for the bold and adventurous, red is now practically a wardrobe essential. Work this rich, universally flattering shade into a daytime look with a wrap dress and beige wedges or espadrilles. Transition into evening with a sexy, one-shoulder style and sky-high stilettos. Still feeling shy about wearing crimson? Pack the same punch with a prominent accessory, such as a belt or a purse, worn against neutrals or basic black

3. Wear simple, uncluttered styling for blouses, tops and jackets to de-emphasize the top-heavy figure.
4. Prefer simple, soft draping.
5. Keep in mind your proportions. Select one color or a mix of soft tones for your garments.
6. Never choose bulky fluffy dresses, you’ll look even bigger wearing them. What you really need is a simple dress that will give you a longer line.
7. Wear heels but steer clear of too high heels either as you will look ridiculous.
8. For hose prefer black, navy and brown – they are good colors to hide heaviness.
9. Select clothing of a single color or tones of a single-color family for a leaner look.
10. If you long for prints chose medium solid ones rather than large, splashy prints.

As well as tight garments, loose ones look bad on you creating a bigger shape.• Front-pleated trousers, or pleated or dirndl skirts.• Pockets, neck/collar details, ruffles, pleats, gathers, tucks.• Contrasting bold colors.

"It's just a (more) direct opportunity than traditional advertising to reach the talent, and then reach the consumer, through the PR generated around the gift bags," says Samantha Milo Haft, owner of On 3 Productions, a New York City - based event-planning firm that does gift bags for events. "One photo of a celebrity wearing your product can ignite sales."
