Miss Universe pageant commenced in 1952, and the first ever beauty to be crowned Miss Universe was Armi Kuusela from Finland. Since then sixty-eight editions of the pageant have taken place, the recent being Miss Universe 2019 and the reigning queen is South African beauty Zozibini Tunzi.
Let’s look at some interesting facts about Miss Universe pageant and its winners –
a) First time winners from each continent are – Armi Kuusela (Finland, Europe) Miss Universe 1952, Miriam Stevenson (Unites States, North America) Miss Universe 1954, Gladys Zender (Peru, South America) Miss Universe 1957, Akiko Kojima (Japan, Asia) Miss Universe 1959, Kerry Anne Wells (Australia, Oceania) Miss Universe 1972, and Margaret Gardiner (South Africa, Africa) Miss Universe 1978.
b) Armi Kuusela from Finland, the first-ever Miss Universe in 1952, gave up her title, though not officially, to get married, shortly before her year was completed.
c) USA has so far won the maximum number of Miss Universe titles (8), followed by Venezuela (7), Puerto Rico (5) and the Philippines (4).

North American beauties (including Central American countries) lead the tally of Miss Universe wins.
e) Miss Universe 2002, Oxana Fedorova of Russia, became the first ever (and till date only) titleholder to be dethroned. She was stripped of her title due to ‘failing to function’ in her responsibilities as Miss Universe. Her responsibilities were assumed by the first runner-up Justine Pasek of Panama after her official dethronement on 23rd September 2002, four months after being crowned. Rumours were that she was secretly married and was pregnant, and was dethroned because of that.

Isnt it unfair to compare? The new queen hasnt started her journey yet. How can we say or compare her now?
Catriona the best
Without any doubt the best is Harnaaz Sandhu, Miss India 2021.
She is also the most beautiful and striking of all the Misses at IMG era.
Zozibini Tunzi is my second choice, she has a fresh, natural look and her beauty culminates when
she speaks with her own soul.
Andrea Meza was the most voluptuous and sensual, she filled the stage with grace and elegance.
Greetings from Porto, Portugal.
Miss India didn’t answer the top 5 question and the final question, she just sounds correct!
Catriona Gray is the best Miss Universe ever ! The only one !
Obviously Catriona Gray 2k18🥰
🤣🤣🤣🤣 after MU 2021 is crowned Indian fan pages started to show their true colours …….they've started comparing harnaaz with everyone….for them Harnaaz is a God…literally shut up guys….let her have a beautiful reign u guys r dirty.
And senseless video……… every Mu is best in her own way. Grow up
I like each one. It all depends how you are feeling at a certain time, because each one's message is beautiful. All four have beautiful voices : the tone of their voices is gentle, not nagging. All 4 could be radio announcers. I say this because Miss Universe must be a voice when she cannot always be seen. For that reason I choose Catriona and Zuzi, but all 4 have beautiful melody in their messages. I'm not looking at their physical beauty, but at the whole person. Having said that I must add that I am thrilled that all 4 of these beauty queens became Miss Universe. I am so happy with the results.
Catriona Gray so intelligent and beautiful miss universe
Of course ALL!!! since 1954
No comparison India has not finished her reign to be part of this group . The other queens had done purposeful charity work during their reign .
MÉXICO 🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽🇲🇽
Indians surely prefer their own who is SIKH
Filipinos prefer their own who is Christian
Mexicans prefer their own who is Christian
Africans prefer their own who is Christian

Catriona so farrr❤❤❤
India deserved crown with cam and humble with respect
Catriona and please stop comparing.
I vote for Andrea Meza
Catriona.
I WANTED AFRICA TO WIN BUT INDIA IS OK
No comparison to each other please
I think one if them is totally over rated as for ZoZi I think she is the best having to deal with the pandemic during her reign it showed the that she was up to the challenge and handled it with confidence to the best of the situation zoiz would always be my # 1 love from TnT
South Africa, the best because her real beauty dwells in her heart and brains…I meant don't get me wrong she's extremely beautiful in the outside but her inner beauty is beyond words!
1ST – PHILIPPINES
2ND- South Africa
3RD- India
4th – Mexico
🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳
Let's not compare they all are fabulous❤❤❤❤
Catriona Gray Philippines for sure ❤️
No offense but Catriona Miss Phiippines 2018 looked cheap in her gown like a lady of the night , and her hair was a mess, definitely overated, I think if Miss South Africa 2018 Tamryn Green had nailed her final question which she didn't and had her gown tailored to her body, it was to long and she was tripping over it a little, she would have won Miss Universe 2018 in my opinion.
MEXICOOO……. ❤️
Harnaaz❤❤❤
Catriona Gray.❤️❤️❤️
Philippines
