Miss USA Nia Sanchez and Miss Ukraine Diana Harkusha were the runners-up during Sunday's competition.
Vega said the contests leading to Miss Universe were the first she'd participated in and will be her last, as she's eager to return to her studies in business administration.
The 22-year-old is the granddaughter of a legendary tenor, Gastón Vega.
She has said, "It will be a dream come true to represent the woman of today. A woman that not only cares about being beautiful and being glamorous, but also cares about being a professional, intelligent, hard-working person.
