Miss Universe 2018 was the 67th Miss Universe pageant, held at the IMPACT Arena, Muang Thong Thani in Bangkok, Thailand on December 17, 2018.[a][1]

At the end of the event, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters of South Africa crowned Catriona Gray of the Philippines as Miss Universe 2018. It is the Philippines' fourth victory after their recent victory in 2015.[2][3]

Contestants from 94 countries and territories competed in this year's pageant, surpassing the previous record of 92 contestants in 2017 and marking the biggest turnout to date for Miss Universe as of 2024.[4] The pageant was hosted by Steve Harvey in his fourth consecutive year, with supermodel Ashley Graham.[4][5][6] Television personality Carson Kressley and runway coach Lu Sierra provided commentary and analysis throughout the event.[4][7] American singer-songwriter Ne-Yo performed in this year's pageant.[8]

Background

Location and date

Nong Nooch Tropical Botanical Garden, the venue for national costume round.
Impact Arena, Muang Thong Thani, the final venue of Miss Universe 2018.

The Miss Universe Organization was in talks to host the Miss Universe 2018 competition in China. Negotiations collapsed after the Chinese refused to broadcast the pageant live, due to a huge time difference between China and the United States. Afterward, the Miss Universe Organization opened negotiations with the Philippines after they had previously hosted 2016.[9]

In April 2018, then-Secretary of Tourism Wanda Tulfo-Teo spoke with President of the Philippines Rodrigo Duterte regarding the possibility of hosting the pageant in Boracay in November 2018, which will be newly rehabilitated by then after being closed to tourists for six months.[9] On May 6, 2018, Tulfo-Teo announced that the Philippines had a "90% chance" of hosting the pageant and also disclosed that the tourism department would be looking for sponsors since the LCS Holdings Inc. of Chavit Singson, the major sponsor of Miss Universe 2016, had declined to finance the 2018 pageant.[10] On May 18, 2018, Tulfo-Teo's successor Bernadette Romulo-Puyat announced that the country dropped the hosting bid due to budget constraints and other concerns. Romulo-Puyat also pointed out that the Philippines had hosted the pageant recently, and had no reason to do so again so soon.[11]

On July 31, 2018 it was announced by Miss Universe Organization President Paula Shugart, in a live press conference at Bangkok Art and Culture Centre, that the 2018 pageant would be in Bangkok, Thailand on December 17, 2018. The city has hosted the Miss Universe pageant twice, in 1992 and 2005. Current Miss Universe Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters with Miss Universe 1965 Apasra Hongsakula and Miss Universe 2005 Natalie Glebova participated in the announcement.[1] The national costume competition took place on December 10, 2018 at the Nong Nooch Tropical Garden in Pattaya, Thailand.[12]

Selection of participants

Contestants from 94 countries and territories were selected to compete in the pageant. Nine of these delegates were appointees to their titles after being a runner-up of their national pageant or an audition process or other internal selection.[13][14][15]

Zoé Brunet, the first runner-up of Miss Belgium 2018, was appointed to represent Belgium after Angeline Flor Pua, Miss Belgium 2018, chose to compete in Miss World 2018. Eva Colas of France and Magdalena Swat are also appointees to their titles after their original titleholders, Miss France 2018 Maëva Coucke and Miss Polonia 2017 Agata Biernat are unable to compete because of commitments to Miss World 2018. Coucke and Pua competed in the pageant the following year.[16][17][18]

The 2018 edition saw the debuts of Armenia, Kyrgyzstan, and Mongolia and the returns of Belize, Denmark, Greece, Hungary, Kenya, Kosovo, and Switzerland. Greece last competed in 2015, and the others in 2016. Austria, Ethiopia, Guyana, Iraq, Romania, Slovenia, Tanzania, and Trinidad and Tobago withdrew.[19][20][21][22] Guyana was suspended from participating in Miss Universe due to a controversy involving "nasty emails" and "death threats" sent to the organization over a delegate issue in 2017. No license holder replaced the previous license holder, forcing the country to withdraw.[23][24] Trinidad and Tobago withdrew after they announced that there would be no pageant held, despite Martrecia Alleyne having crowned as Miss Universe Trinidad and Tobago 2018 at their 2017 national pageant. Austria, Ethiopia, Iraq, Romania, Slovenia, and Tanzania withdrew after their respective organizations lost their Miss Universe license and failed to hold a national competition or designate a contestant.[25]

Marie Esther Bangura of Sierra Leone arrived in Bangkok after registration had ended and was unable to participate due to visa and logistical concerns. She was allowed to watch the competition from the audience and was invited to compete in the pageant the following year.[26]

Ángela Ponce of Spain Miss Universe's first openly transgender contestant.[27][28][29] Despite not making it to the top twenty, Ponce was recognized by pageant organizers for her historical importance during the competition.[30] The pageant rules were changed to allow transgender women to compete in 2012.[27][31][32]

Format

Starting this year, the contestants was agrouped in another group with 20 semifinalists, compared to 16 in 2017 and 13 in 2016. This semifinal group size was last used in 2006 and continues to be used in 2019. The initial semifinalists were selected through a closed-door interview and a preliminary competition—in swimwear and evening gown—held several days before the finals night. The continental format, introduced in the 2017 edition, remained — consisting of five semifinalists from Europe, five from the Americas, five from Africa and Asia-Pacific, and five wildcards—regardless of continental grouping. The top 20 were then tasked to give an opening statement—a 15-second statement about the contestant—to the judges and viewing public, after which the judges narrowed downed the semifinalists to the top 10, who then competed in both swimsuit and evening gown. After the swimwear and evening gown competitions, the judges then selected the top five to compete in the preliminary question and answer round. After said segment, the judges selected the final three. The top three participated in the final word and final look portions, after which the judges chose Miss Universe 2018 and her two runners-up. For this edition, there was no online voting component for viewers at home.[34]
