Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza is Topless: Miss Universe 2008, Venezuela's Dayana Mendoza, has come under fire after an ad featuring her almost completely nude was revealed.



The Sun ("Miss Nudie-verse") reports,

NEW Miss Universe DAYANA MENDOZA will not lose her crown, despite raunchy pictures from her past being uncovered.

The 22-year-old Venezuelan beauty stripped off for a sexy jewellery ad campaign before signing on as a contestant.

Although the key snap – of Dayana topless with her arms covering her boobs – will not offend British readers, it has caused controversy in more conservative countries.

Paula M. Shugart, the President of the Miss Universe organisation, defended Miss Mendoza's actions,

Dayana is not in jeopardy of losing the title. We embrace and respect her success as a model and the artistic beauty captured in these photographs. They are artistic in nature and don't have an ounce of pornographic content to them.
