The Miss World Americas pageant has concentrated much of the its time of Beauty with a Purpose project although the prelims on gowns has also been held. Conspicuously absent is the traditional swimsuit competition. The finals night was held in the nation’s capital of Washington D.C.. Miss World 2010 Alexandria Mills hosted the event.
As the new Miss World America, Victoria will now represent the United States in the Miss World pageant. She will soon fly to Sanya, China later this year for the competition.
