Miss Colombia’s new post wins her the crown for most gracious runner-up
“After the storm comes the calm”, Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez wrote late Tuesday on her Instagram account.

Gutierrez also said she is “fortunate” and “thankful” for the support from her country, as well as the rest of the world. And my destiny was this.
Ariadna Gutierrez, the Miss Universe contestant mistakenly crowned on live television after a blunder by host Steve Harvey, thanked fans for their support and encouragement.
“I felt so sorry for them both, it has never happened in a major pageant before so you would never dream of it. It was really sad to watch and speaking to Nena afterwards she said all the girls were really sad and it had tainted the whole wonderful event”. Not only that, but she called the situation a “nightmare” and said she thought it could be “the worst thing to have ever happened in [Miss Gutierrez’s] life”! She says, years of pageants and being coached builds character, courage and compassion into the contestants.
But when it got narrowed down to the top three, Young only had one focus, Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, whom she worked with from the very beginning.
“I have to apologize”.
The $30,000 blue diamond and topaz crown was already placed in Miss Colombia’s head when Harvey announced that Miss Philippines won instead. In one of his tweets, he wrote, “I’d like to apologise wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake”.
The confusion over the victor of the Miss Universe pageant is still a big topic of conversation.
Gutiérrez previously shared several photos of herself wearing the Miss Universe crown, to Instagram, writing, “This moment will always be with me #missuniverse #misscolombia #backtoback Lo logramos COLOMBIA!”
According to a source, Harvey’s now-infamous gaffe took place as he didn’t practice reading the winner’s name. This was a terribly honest human mistake.

“Steve passed on hosting this pageant twice this year before asking for a pie-in-the-sky fee and expecting the organisers to walk away”.
