      Iris Mittenaere from France won the 65th Miss Universe title on Monday (30 Jan). She beat 85 other contestants who competed in the pageant that was held in Manila, the Philippines.The show was again hosted by US comedian Steve Harvey, who fortunately announced the right winner in this year’s pageant.

      WATCH: Miss. Universe 2015: Steve Harvey Announces The Wrong Winner

      Steve Harvey is under fire after accidentally crowning the wrong winner of the Miss. Universe 2015 pageant last night, in what is perhaps the most awkward piece of live TV that you will see all week. In the painstakingly uncomfortable viewing, Miss. Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, has the $30,000 crown removed from her head just two minutes after she was announced as this year’s winner of the coveted title. Whilst Ariadna blew kisses to the audience and held back tears of joy, host Steve Harvey took to the stage and said: “Folks, I have to apologise.

      Miss Universe Contestants Post Makeup-Free Selfies

      This Sunday, women from 80 different countries will compete for the Miss Universe title, and the judges and audiences are expecting glossy lips, glamorous blowouts, and  smoky eye makeup — along with the Brazilian tans and dangerously high stilettos. But last night, current Miss Universe Paulina Vega of Colombia asked the contestants to share their barefaced selfies with the world on social media. “Every #MissUniverse is #ConfidentlyBeautiful. Are you? Show us your no-makeup selfies,” Vega Tweeted, including a no-makeup selfie of herself.Not surprisingly, the contestants who voluntarily shared their no-makeup selfies had enviably even skin tones, glowing complexions, high cheekbones without contouring, and charismatic smiles — this is the highest form of a beauty humblebrag. But if you’re looking forward to the theatrics of the Miss Universe on Sunday night, you may want to check out these selfies first. It is interesting that a lot off these women, most in their late teens or early 20s (Vega is 22), actually look much younger (and fresher) without the Miss Universe-approved makeup and blowouts. Maybe the pageant should think about some makeunders.Related:From Saran Wrap to Scotch Tape: 15 Pageant Beauty Secrets#TBT The First Miss Universe PageantBiracial Miss Japan Ariana Miyamoto is Changing Perceptions of Beauty in Japan
