Pia Wurtzbach was hailed as Miss Universe 2015 during the
coronation night held at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas, United States Sunday
evening (Monday morning, Manila time.).
Wurtzbach bested 79 other candidates to get the crown.
Before the announcement, host Steve Harvey made a mistake
and announced that Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez is new Miss Universe, and
Wurtzbach was first runner-up.
Wurtzbach already thought she lost the crown to Colombia,
which would have won back to back, until the host came forward to apologize.
The show’s organizers even flashed the result card from
Ernst and Young to the audience.
Wurtzbach was in shock while already comfortably standing
beside third placer Olivia Jordan, taking minutes to get to the front, where a
shocked Gutierrez stood.
Even Miss Universe 2014 Paulina Vega went back onstage to
correct the results, but the telecast ended before she could do so.
