Chinese-Australian model Francesca Hung has been crowned Miss Universe Australia 2018.

The 24-year-old from New South Wales took out the coveted title at a special crowning ceremony at the Sofitel Hotel in Melbourne overnight.

Ms Hung, who has a degree in Arts and Sociology and is currently doing a Masters in Publishing, was crowned by last year’s winner Olivia Molly Rogers.

The brunette beauty joins well-known models Jesinta Campbell, Rachael Finch and Jennifer Hawkins in winning the Miss Universe Australia title.

She will now represent Australia at the 67th Miss Universe pageant later this year.
