While beauty pageant contestants are often derided as dizzy bimbos, one girl is turning the myth on its head - having been crowned the world's smartest beauty queen.
Katie Farr is the full package: an honours graduate, a champion kick-boxer, a model and actress, an aid worker and now officially World Miss University.
The 24-year-old beat 40 other brainy beauties to the title, having dazzled the judges with her high intellect and high-kicking martial arts.
Katie, from Leeds, has an IQ of 140 and is the first ever contestant from the UK to take home the crown since the competition was launched in 1986.
All entrants must be students at, or graduates from, university and be able to demonstrate their debating skills, their charitable instincts and their individual talents.
There is no swimwear category - but Katie was able to stun the judges with her powerful kick-boxing moves rather than her amazing figure.
She first got into modelling as a teenager before gaining a 2:1 degree in politics from the University of Leeds.
Last year, she won the title of Miss Leeds and was one of the top 20 finalists for the Miss England competition.
Originally from Cambridge, Katie lives with Greek kick-boxer boyfriend 23-year-old Oliver Michalakis, a mechanical engineering graduate and her university sweetheart.

Well she has brains academically and also seems to have an inkling that though world peace is a nice goal it is a totally impractical goal.
I personally think it is high time that the people of the Western Democracies grew up and told the pacifist to sit down and shut up. The adults in the West have had enough of the idealistic non-sense.
The world is a dangerous place, has always been a dangerous place and always will be a dangerous place.
You only make it more dangerous by trying to make nice with dictators.

Thanks to Tolerance Sucks Rocks for the snag.
Women like this tend to be one-of-a-kind genetic dead ends, a million years of human R&D into the dust bin of history.
I understand now, thanks.
And she has that natural beauty. What a wonderful woman.
