They crave for diamond tiaras like others lust for private jets. 48 girls from all over the country put on their best face to clinch the coveted Beauty of Russia title in Moscow.

The lucky winner was 23 year-old Natalia Pereverzeva from Moscow. Apart from her ideal hourglass figure, the blonde dazzled the judges with her winning smile and porcelain skin.
