R’Bonney Gabriel of USA crowned Miss Universe

She’s outta this world!

R’Bonney Gabriel was crowned Miss Universe on her own turf Saturday night — beating out 83 other beauties for the top honor.

The 28-year-old fashion designer and model — who became the first Filipino-American to win Miss USA last year — edged out runner-up Amanda Dudamel of Venezuela at the live competition in New Orleans.

Andreína Martínez Founier of the Dominican Republic took home third.

Gabriel is the ninth Miss USA to reign supreme as Miss Universe.

The Texas native, who runs her own sustainable clothing line, R’Bonney Nola, said she would use her title to become a “transformational leader.”
