The photograph shows the 22-year-old Venezuelan beauty in a publicity ad for jewellery.  The ad campaign was published before Mendoza entered the most prestigious beauty contest on the planet.

The president of the organisation behind the Miss Universe pageant says that the crown will not be taken away from Mendoza.  Paula M. Shugart told The Sun, “Dayana is not in jeopardy of losing the title. We embrace and respect her success as a model and the artistic beauty captured in these photographs."
