The runner-up was France's Marine Lorphelin while Ghana's Naa Okailey Shooter ranked third.

The top 10 was rounded out by Australia, Brazil, England, Indonesia, Jamaica, Nepal and Spain.

The audience's prize went to Miss Gibraltar.

Megan Young was awarded the Miss World 2013 crown by Miss World 2012, Yu Wenxia from China.

This year's pageant went under increased security measures due to threats by Indonesian Islamists, who saw the contest as contrary to their religion.
