Miss Universe 2015 was the 64th Miss Universe pageant, held on 20 December 2015 at The AXIS, Las Vegas, Nevada, United States. Paulina Vega of Colombia crowned her successor, Pia Wurtzbach of the Philippines.
Eighty contestants competed. This was the first edition of the Miss Universe pageant under the new owners, WME/IMG, and is the first aired by Fox and Azteca.
Originally, host Steve Harvey announced Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutiérrez, as Miss Universe 2015 and Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach, as the 1st runner-up.
However, moments after Gutiérrez’s crowning, Harvey revealed that he read the card incorrectly and that Wurtzbach was the true Miss Universe. Paulina Vega then handed the crown over to Wurtzbach before the broadcast abruptly ended.
