The Miss Universe Pageant 2009 came to a close with Ms. Venezuela, Stefanía Fernández being crowned as Miss Universe 2008 Dayana Mendoza's successor, beating out Miss Dominican Republic, Ada de la Cruz who came in as the first runner up and Miss Kosovo, Marigona Dragusha who is, in turn, the second runner up.

The Philippines' bet, Bianca Manalo, failed to make it to the Top 15 although she is among the highest ranked on the official website's poll.
