Miss World 2014 Rolene Strauss

Miss World 2014

Rolene Strauss 

South Africa's Rolene Strauss has been named the winner of the Miss World 2014 competition in a London finale televised in many parts of the world.

Edina Kulcsar of Hungary was the runner-up and Elizabeth Safrit of the United States took third place.

India's Koyal Rana made it to the top 10 of Miss World 2014 before getting eliminated. She made the country proud by winning the coveted title 'Beauty With A Purpose'. Koyal also won the sub-title of Best Designer of the World where she was seen standing gorgeously tall in a Falguni & Shane Peacock gown. 

The Miss World 2014 winner, in the question and answer segment, said that she should win the pageant because “Unity, respect, forgiveness exist and are the aspirations of the Miss World organisation. Humanity, forgiveness and peace is important,” and she has all these qualities. And, it looks like the judges agreed.

Meanwhile, the Miss World 2014 pageant favourite, Miss South Africa Rolene Strauss took away the coveted title. The 22-year-old beauty queen was crowned onstage at the competition’s grand finale at the Excel London ICC Auditorium.

 

The multi-talented Rolene loves to play golf and netbal and she also loves to go cycling and read books. Apart from focusing on her career, she loves to pursue music in her free time. She can play flute, guitar and piano, with aplomb, according to Miss World's official site. She may have to give her interests a rest for a while, as she will be travelling for a year and will be fulfilling her charitable duties as the new Miss World.

In addition to being a student of Mass Communication, Thorpe works part-time as a freelance writer and as a fashion stylist. She wishes to write a series of educational books for children. She is interested in modern History and her favourite book is "Diary of Anne Frank." Thorpe also has an adventurous side, as she enjoys wake boarding, horse riding, camping and boating.
