At 5'10" - and just about sky-high in heels - newly crowned Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza is living large. Since taking home the crown in July, her life has been a whirlwind of TV interviews and photo-shoots.

The Venezuelan beauty, who grew up sharing a bedroom with her grandmother and younger sister, is now living in a luxury Midtown crib with two fellow beauty queens, courtesy of Donald Trump (unsurprisingly, their lives are being filmed for a reality show).

Mendoza took some time out of her breakneck schedule to chat with us about everything from the new fall fashions to how she once missed a phone call from Hugo Chávez.
