More than a month after that fateful Miss Universe coronation night, which went down in history as the most unforgettable beauty pageant coronation ever (thanks to Steve Harvey), we still have some hangover from the catastrophic affair.
The two beauties, Miss Philippines Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach and Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez are both well-deserving ladies who handled a bad situation pretty well.

Steve Harvey, the host of the Miss Universe pageant in 2015, infamously announced the wrong winner. He initially announced Miss Colombia, Ariadna Gutierrez, as the winner, but moments later, he corrected himself and announced that Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, was the winner.
One of our favorite pageant parts is the evening gown competition, where gorgeous beauties parade on the catwalk in stunning evening looks. Who do you think looked better in her evening gown?
Pia’s gown was made by Filipino designer Albert Andrada, who chose a royal blue color to represent the Philippine seas.

We love the very flattering mermaid silhouette and the lovely details on the back.

The regal blue hue also perfectly matched the iconic Miss Universe crown, which features five gorgeous blue sapphire stones.

Miss Colombia’s gown was equally stunning, embellished with sequins all over and styled with sexy sheer cutout details.

The strapless number hugged her enviable figure perfectly, and she sashayed on the runway flawlessly.
