The 2023 Miss Universe competition is here! The swimsuit competition is always a highly-anticipated portion of the annual show and it definitely did not disappoint. This year, each woman wore capes that included a symbolic message representing their country.
The 71st Miss Universe competition included 84 of the world’s most beautiful and talented women. The show took place in New Orleans, Louisiana, on Saturday, Jan. 14, 2023, and streamed live on The Roku Channel. The hosts of the 2023 Miss Universe competition, former Miss Universe, Olivia Culpo, and Emmy Award-winning producer and TV host, Jeannie Mai Jenkins, gave commentary that was on-point!
There were dozens of women vying for the coveted spot, but there could only be one winner to take home the crown, which was handed down by last year’s Miss Universe, Harnaaz Sandhu.
