Forty minutes into her reign as Miss Universe, Miss Puerto Rico Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza collapsed during a post-pageant news conference and was rushed offstage on Sunday night.
Pageant officials immediately said Zuleyka Rivera Mendoza was all right and had fainted.
pageant representative Lark Anton told Reuters:
She's okay. She's fine, 
It's very hot up here. Her dress is tight – as you could see it was beaded and heavy. She passed out.
