This pageant didn't happen in 2020 because of the COVID-19 pandemic. But on May 17, at 8 am (May 16 in Florida), "the most beautiful day in the universe" finally happened.
Here's the full list of winners:
Miss Mexico Andrea Meza was crowned Miss Universe at the 69th annual pageant, which was delayed last year due to Covid-19.
"MÉXICO ESTO ES PARA TI," Meza, 26, wrote in the caption of an Instagram post, which translates to "Mexico this is for you," alongside a video of her after the win was announced.
The competition was held in Hollywood, Florida, at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino. "Access Hollywood's" Mario Lopez and Olivia Culpo, the 2012 Miss Universe, co-hosted the event, which also featured a performance by Luis Fonsi.
Meza beat 73 other women, including Miss Brazil Julia Gama, who was runner-up, and Miss Peru Janick Maceta Del Castillo, who was second runner-up.
Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi, the first Black woman from South Africa to win the crown, had held the title since December 2019.
Meza will move to New York City "to represent the brand and various philanthropic organizations during her reign," Miss Universe Organization said.
