Things got awkward as the winner of “Miss Universe 2015” was announced Sunday night.
During the live broadcast from Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino in Las Vegas, host Steve Harvey named Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez as Miss Universe 2015 — but she was in fact first runner-up.
“I have to apologize,” Harvey said after Gutierrez was given the Miss Universe crown and sash and was tearily waving to the cheering audience. “The first runner-up is Colombia.”
The actual Miss Universe, Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach, was then announced, and she made her way to the main stage confused and emotional.
