A new Miss Universe has been crowned - without any slips ups like last year.

Miss France Iris Mittenaere was named Miss Universe at Sunday night's pageant.

Last year, host Steve Harvey famously announced the first runner up, Miss Colombia, as the winner as opposed the actual Miss Universe, Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach. On Sunday, Wurtzbach handed Harvey a large pair of glasses just before he read the results.

Mittenaere, 23, is from Lille, France and is pursuing her degree in dental surgery. During the pageant, she said she is also interested in traveling and cooking. Prior to winning the crown, Mittenaere said she hoped to spread the message of dental hygiene and oral health if she were the titleholder.

There's only been one other Miss Universe from France and that was in 1953.

First runner-up was Miss Haiti. Second runner-up was Miss Colombia.

Miss Universe crowned

We're waiting to see which one of the three finalists will take home the crown. It will be either Miss Haiti, Miss France or Miss Colombia.

Top three

We're down to the final three contestants after a brutal question-and-answer session. The top three finalists are Miss Colombia, Miss France and Miss Haiti.

Each is being asked their final question. The question posed to each is: Name something over the course of your life you failed at and something you learned from that experience.

Miss Colombia said people make mistakes when they don't accept someone based on their differences.

Miss France said she had failed many times in her life but when you fail you have to try again.

Miss Haiti said she sometimes felt she failed during the aftermath of her country's earthquake.

Top six



The evening gown competition is complete. Here are your top six: Miss France, Miss Kenya, Miss Colombia, Miss Philippines, Miss Thailand and Miss Haiti.

Miss USA Deshauna Walker did not make the top six.

The question-and-answer round is next. After that, the group will be cut down to the top three.

Top nine

The top 13 competed in swimsuit. We're waiting for the top 9 to be announced.

Here are the top nine: Miss USA, Miss Thailand, Miss France, Miss Mexico, Miss Kenya, Miss Colombia, Miss Canada, Miss Haiti and Miss Philippines.

Top 13

The scores from the preliminary competitions help determine the Top 13 contestants.

Sunday night's finalists include 12 selected by the judges and one chosen by the people at home.

The top 13 were Miss Kenya, Miss Indonesia, Miss USA, Miss Peru, Miss Panama, Miss Colombia, Miss Philippines, Miss Canada, Miss Brazil, Miss France, Miss Haiti and Miss Mexico. The fan choice was Miss Thailand.

The top 13 finalists will compete in swimsuit, with judges, as well as voters at home, scoring each contestant. The top 13 will be narrowed down to the top nine, representing those with the highest average scores during the first stage of the competition.

The top nine will go on to the second stage of the pageant, which includes evening gown. According to the Miss Universe Organization, the design of the gown doesn't determine the winner. Instead, judges, will "focus on how confidently each woman presents herself." Each contestant receives an average score from the panel of judges and the home voters. The contestants with the highest averages move forward to the next phase.

The scores in the evening gown competition determine the top six, bringing them to the final question round. Each woman selects a judge at random who presents a question focused on various social cultural and political topics. The scores from the question are averaged in with all scores to determine the top three. The top three will take one last walk before the judges cast their votes on who they think should win the Miss Universe title.

The event concludes with the host announcing the winner of Miss Universe.
