Miss Universe Pageant Mixes Up Crown
Instead of announcing Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach (Miss Philippines) as the 2015 victor, he incorrectly named Ariadna Gutiérrez Arevalo, Miss Colombia.

“Everything happens for a reason, so I’m happy”, she said wiping tears from her eyes moments after leaving the stage. “We started a huge celebration when they said Colombia had won the Miss Universe title for the second straight year”, the president said. “Because no one of us voted for Philippines”. The confusion came at the end of the telecast when Harvey was meant to announce the pageant’s first runner-up, Gutierrez-Arévalo, and the actual victor, Ms. Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach.
Miss Colombia had it all for just a few minutes.
Her shock was written all over the 26-year-old’s face during the live telecast as Harvey admitted that he had made a mistake, and Wurtzbach was really the night’s big victor.
Missosology has another post showing numerous contestants chanting “Colombia” even after Miss Philippines was crowned.
Immediately after saying her name, the audience cheered and Gutierrez-Arévalo was given a crown and large bouquet. Am I really Miss Universe?
To make matters worse, Harvey took to Twitter to apologize, but initially misspelled the home countries of both contestants before also fixing that. “To get crowned Ms. Universe and for them to take away the crown, I feel so sorry for her (Gutierrez)”.
Fans flooded Ariadna’s social media pages to show their support and among those offering their condolences was Modern Family star Sofia, who shared a photo of her fellow countrywoman’s fleeting crowning moment on Instagram.
“Miss Universe 2014 is… For me, Miss France was the real victor”.

“You can see from my reaction, I didn’t know whether to go up in front of the stage so I was a little bit hesitant as well because I wasn’t sure if the announcement was finally right”.
