Denise Quiones

Denise Quiones August (born November 9, 1980) was the 4th Puerto Rican winner of the Miss Universe contest. She won the contest in her own backyard - Puerto Rico - in 2001. Her win, over Greek supermodel Evelina Papantoniou, was the first time a woman outside of the US mainland had taken the Miss Universe crown in her own homeland. The victory came on the Miss Universe pageant's 50th anniversary. Quinones lived in New York for a year, enjoying the benefits that all winners and former winners of the contest have. Among these privileges are: 5 year make up and hair care for free, a car, and travelling opportunities. On the night of the Miss Universe 2002 contest, she gave her crown, in front of another hometown crowd, to the now controversial Oxana Fedorova of Russia.
