Rima Fakih of Dearborn, Michigan, has won the Miss USA title at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas.

Fakih snatched the title despite almost stumbling in her long gown. She is the first Arab American woman to take the title.

“Ask me after I’ve had a pizza,” responded Miss Fakih when asked how she felt about winning the crown.

She said she believed she had the title after glancing at pageant owner Donald Trump.

“That’s the same look that he gives them when he says, ‘You’re hired,”‘ on Trump’s reality show “The Apprentice,” she said.

It was also reported that Miss Fakih sold her car to help pay for her run in the pageant. She replaces Miss USA Kristen Dalton.

During the interview portion, she was asked whether she thought birth control should be paid for by health insurance and she said: “I believe that birth control is just like every other medication even though it’s a controlled substance.”
