Miss World 2010, Alexandria Mills.


Miss US Alexandria Mills, dressed in a white evening gown, was crowned the 6th Miss World 2010 in China. Miss Botswana Emma Wareus was named the first runner-up while Miss Venezuela Adriana Vasini named the second.


Here’s something we can appreciate: Alexandria, who is only 18 years old, hopes to become a teacher so that she can help children prepare for their future.


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.


Alexandria is from Kentucky, and she was not the favorite coming into the competition – Miss Norway, who did not place in the top three, was. Mills just graduated from high school a few months ago, and she enjoys playing percussion and the French horn.

Alexandria Mills, a soft-spoken 18-year-old American, was named the winner of the Miss World contest tonight.
The blonde Southern belle 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.

Mills takes over the title from Kaiane Aldorino of Gibraltar, who was named Miss World 2009 at a ceremony in South Africa last December.

Women from more than 100 countries participated in the contest, organizers said.

This is the 60th year of the Miss World Competition, and organizers brought back contestants from past decades to give the night a retrospective theme.
