Miss World 2010
Alexandria Mills - USA
Mills was crowned Miss World 2010 on October 30, 2010 in Sanya, China. Mills is the first woman from the United States to win Miss World since Gina Tolleson in 1990 and the 60th Miss World in the history of the pageant. Mills, a resident of the Louisville suburb of Shepherdsville, Kentucky, had an interest in modeling at least as early as the eighth grade; following Mills' victory in Miss World 2010, a counselor at her middle school recalled that she had a modeling portfolio even then. The counselor also recalled her as being "very outgoing and very confident", and that Mills had demonstrated fearlessness by volunteering to sing "God Bless America" over the school intercom. Prior to participating in Miss World, 18-year-old Mills was homeschooled for high school, graduating shortly before the competition, and wanted to become a teacher. According to her mother, she also has an interest in landscape photography. A vegetarian, Mills is also a fashion model and is listed with Elite Models agency. Mills was appointed as Miss World United States 2010 to represent her country at the 2010 Miss World pageant held in Sanya, China. She placed first runner-up during the Miss World Beach Beauty fast track event held on October 19 and second-runner-up in Miss World Top Model held on October 23, becoming the eventual winner of Miss World 2010 on October 30, beating early bookie's favorite Mariann Birkedal of Norway who finished in the top seven. Thus far during her reign of Miss World, she has traveled to Australia, China, Indonesia, Korea, Malaysia, Philippines, Singapore, Trinidad & Tobago, Kenya, United Kingdom and the USA.
