She hit a career highpoint when she won the Miss USA pageant earlier this year, and now Rima Fakih is going for the Miss Universe honors.

The beauty queen was spotted at a Miss Universe press photo call over the weekend, looking super hot in a black two-piece bikini.

For some of the shots, Rima went topless and wore body paint on her back, something she hoped would help set her apart.

“For me, I like to do the back. I didn’t want to do the front for many reasons. I’m Arab, I’m Muslim and I didn’t want to disappoint many people.”

“There were options and we were all asked what we would feel comfortable. I told them I feel comfortable with beauty and with being unique. I’m known to stand out and always wanting to do something different.”
