Was it the âlava walkâ that helped crown Catriona Gray of the Philippines as the new Miss Universe?
Just one day before Sundayâs final competition in Bangkok, Thailand, Gray won praise from model Tyra Banks, who described a video of Grayâs runway walk during a preliminary competition as âPinoy Power to the Max!!!â
On Sunday, Gray, 24, bested contestants from 93 other countries to capture the Miss Universe crown.
The first runner-up was Tamaryn Green of South Africa and the third-place finisher was Sthefany Gutierrez of Venezuela.
Gray succeeds last yearâs winner, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters of South Africa.
The theme of the 67th Miss Universe pageant was "Empowered Women" and was judged by seven women including former pageant winners, businesswomen, and a fashion designer.
The emcee for Sunday eveningâs festivities was comedian and game show host Steve Harvey.
According to website PhilStar Global, the evening contained a moment of humor when contestant Miss Costa Rica referred to an infamous Harvey faux pas from the 2015 Miss Universe pageant â" when he announced the wrong contestant as having won that yearâs title.
On Sunday, Harvey asked Miss Costa Rica â" herself a TV host like Harvey â" whether she had any professional advice for him.
She responded: âIf they ever give you, like, a really, really, really important envelope, try to read carefully, OK?â
After the audience laughed, Harvey directed a remark at the crowd.
âYou all thought that was funny,â he said. âYou all just wonât let it go.â
