The Rigorous Road to the Crown: Understanding How Miss Universe is Chosen

Following the individual question-and-answer segment, the finalists may participate in a final look or statement, providing a last opportunity to impress the judges and convey why they should be crowned Miss Universe. This final impression can be a decisive factor in the judges' ultimate decision. Once all the segments are completed, the judges cast their final votes, taking into account the contestants' performance throughout the preliminary and final competitions, including the interviews, swimsuit, evening gown, and question-and-answer rounds.
