Miss Universe 2015: The Comedy of Errors



Although Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach is the Miss Universe 2015 but the Miss Universe pageant provided one of the most embarrassing TV moments when the host of the show Steve Harvey mistakenly announced and also crowned Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez as the winner. In a short while the host came to the stage and apologised for his mistake that he read the card incorrectly and named Wurtzbach as the Miss Universe winner and Miss Colombia as the first runner-up.

On being declared the Miss Universe 2015, an astonished Wurtzbach walked to the front of the stage and stood alongside Arevalo who was already wearing the crown. The crown was removed from Arevalo’s head and finally placed on Wurtzbach’s head who was declared the winner.

Just minutes after crowing the Miss Columbia as the Miss Universe, Harvey came back to the stage and said, “Folks, I have to apologise”. He corrected his mistake and named Miss Columbia as the First Runner Up. He said ‘Miss Universe 2015 is Miss Philippines.’


The Miss Universe 2015 competition was represented by 80 countries and women aging between 19- 27 participated. It was for the first time that viewers at home weigh in and their votes were tallied alongside the four in-person celebrity judges.
