Miss Universe 2015, the 64th edition of the Miss Universe pageant, was held on 20 December 2015 at the The AXIS in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States.[4] Paulina Vega of Colombia crowned her successor Pia Wurtzbach of the Philippines. 80 contestants competed in the 2015 event.
This was the first edition of the Miss Universe pageant to be held under the ownership of WME/IMG, which purchased the Miss Universe Organization from Donald Trump on September 14, 2014, three days after NBCUniversal sold him its 50% interest in the organization in exchange for Trump dropping a breach of contract lawsuit he filed against the media company in August for terminating NBC's contract to televise the Miss Universe and Miss USA pageants. Consequently, it is also the first Miss Universe event to be aired by Fox and Azteca, which replaced NBC and UniMás (the respective parents of both networks, NBCUniversal and Univision Communications, terminated their rights to the pageant as a result of Trump's incendiary statements against Mexican immigrants during his speech announcing his candidacy for the Republican Party nomination for President of the United States on June 16) as the pageant's respective English and Spanish broadcasters.[5][6][7][8][9][10][11]
The telecast was notable for an error in which host Steve Harvey mistakenly announced Ariadna Gutiérrez, who represented Colombia in that year's pageant, as Miss Universe 2015, even though the judges had decided that Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach from the Philippines had won.[12] Gutiérrez was initially crowned though about three minutes later, following Harvey's admission of his error, the crown was removed by Vega from Gutiérrez and given to Wurtzbach. The telecast abruptly ended without Wurtzbach performing the traditional walk with the crown.[13]

- Kosovo – Mirjeta Shala was appointed to represent Kosovo by Fadil Berisha, national director of Miss Universe Kosovo. Shala was crowned Miss Universe Kosovo 2013 but was forced to withdraw because Russia, the host country of the Miss Universe 2013 pageant, does not recognise Kosovo as an independent nation and hence denied her visa for entry.
- Poland – Weronika Szmajdzińska was appointed "Miss Universe Poland 2015" by Gerhard Parzutka von Lipinski, the new national director for Miss Universe in Poland. Szmajdzińska was crowned Miss Polski Teen 2011 and was also appointed to compete at Miss World 2012.

Replacements
- Austria – Amina Dagi was chosen "Miss Universe Austria 2015" by Silvia Schachermayer, national director of Miss Austria pageant, as a replacement to Annika Grill who will be sent to Miss World 2015 and hence was unable to participate in Miss Universe as the finale dates of Miss World and Miss Universe for the 2015 edition overlap. Dagi was crowned Miss Austria 2012.[88]
- Croatia – Barbara Ljiljak was replaced by Mirta Laura Kustan, the 2nd runner-up of Miss Universe Croatia 2015, because Ljiljak had to withdraw due to an arm injury. The news was officially revealed by Ivana Delač Đolo, Miss Universe Croatia Organisation, Director of Public Relations.
- Gabon – Ornella Obone was appointed to compete at Miss Universe 2015 by the Miss Gabon Organization after they decided to send the winner of the Miss Gabon 2015 pageant, Reine Ngotala, to Miss World 2015.

Obone was the 3rd runner-up at the Miss Gabon 2015 pageant.[89]
- Lebanon – Cynthia Samuel was appointed to represent Lebanon by Antoine Macksoud, the national director of the Miss Lebanon pageant, as a replacement for Valerie Abou Chacra, Miss Lebanon 2015, who will only compete at the Miss World 2015 due to the conflict between the dates of the Miss World and Miss Universe pageants.

- Russia – Vladislava Yevtushenko was appointed "Miss Universe Russia 2015" by the Miss Russia Organization as a replacement for Sofia Nikitchuk, the winner of the Miss Russia 2015 pageant, who will compete only at Miss World 2015 due to the conflict between the dates of the Miss Universe and Miss World pageants. The winner of the Miss Russia pageant usually participates at both Miss Universe and Miss World pageants. Yevtushenko represented Chita at Miss Russia 2015 and was the 1st runner-up at the pageant.[91]
- South Africa – Refilwe Mthimunye was chosen "Miss Universe South Africa 2015" by Melinda Bam, national director of the Miss South Africa pageant, as a replacement for Liesl Laurie, who will be sent to Miss World 2015 and hence will not be able to participate in Miss Universe as the finale dates of Miss World and Miss Universe for the 2015 edition are close one another.

Controversy
Initial confusing announcement
During the final segment of the telecast in which the Miss Universe winner and runners-up were announced, host Steve Harvey announced Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutiérrez as Miss Universe 2015 and Miss Philippines, Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach, as the first runner-up.[12] However, moments after Gutiérrez's crowning, Harvey received instructions from the pageant's organizers that he had misread the result and should have announced Gutiérrez as the first runner-up[94] and that Wurtzbach was Miss Universe. Audience members attending the pageant as well as Wurtzbach herself were confused by the change in winners, with those attending the event reportedly remaining in the event room at The AXIS for at least a half-hour after the pageant concluded in disbelief over the events that transpired in its final minutes. Miss Universe 2014 winner, Paulina Vega (who represented Colombia in that year's event), then handed the crown over to Wurtzbach before the broadcast abruptly ended.
The Miss Universe Organization acknowledged the error and also issued a public apology to both contestants on Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram. In addition, as he faced both criticism and lampooning on social media for the error, Harvey later issued a public apology on his Twitter account, which he would subsequently retract after discovering that he misspelled the names of the two countries that Gutiérrez and Wurtzbach represented as "Philippians" and "Columbia"; Harvey reposted the tweet with the correct respective spellings.[95][96][97][98]
The error was not aired by Fox affiliate KTXL-TV (channel 40) in Sacramento, California, which cut the moments following the initial crowning of Gutiérrez in order to air its prime time newscast at its scheduled 10:00 p.m. Pacific air time (because of the correction that Wurtzbach was the actual winner, Fox's telecast of the pageant ran two minutes outside of its designated three-hour Sunday prime time slot), resulting in complaints from viewers who watched the event on the Tribune Broadcasting-owned station on Twitter and Facebook.[99]
