Miss France crowned as Miss Universe 2017

A contest of the world’s most beautiful women from around the world culminated with the crowning of Miss France as Miss Universe 2017. The Miss Universe beauty pageant took place on Monday in Manila, Philippines, which was scheduled for primetime viewing in the United States.

Miss France, Iris Mittenaere, 24, beat Miss Haiti, the first runner-up, and Miss Columbia, the second runner-up, to become the winner of this year’s pageant.

Mittenaere, who is studying to become dental surgeon from Lille in the north of France, was not only considered as the most beautiful woman in the contest, but also the most intelligent one, as she clearly passed the question-answer round with flying colors.

In the final question round, Miss France highlighted the benefits of open borders when asked about the global refugee crisis.

“In France we want to have the most globalisation that we can. We want to have the biggest exchange of people that we can. Maybe someday that will change but now we have open borders,” Mittenaere said.

“Having open borders allows us to travel more through the world and to find out more about what´s out there in the world.”

This year’s Miss Universe contest was free from major blunders like last year’s event when the host of the show, Steve Harvey, mistakenly awarded the title to Miss Colombia, when in actuality; the winner was Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach.

Harvey corrected the error minutes later, apologising on air to Wurtzbach and Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez.
