The 65th Annual Miss Universe Pageant is set to take place on January 30 at the Mall of Asia Arena.
Contestants from more than 80 countries will vie to become the next Miss Universe in this year’s special programming event, which will conclude with current Miss Universe Pia Alonzo Wurtzbac of Philippines crowning her successor.
This will be the second time in the history of the competition that the pageant will skip a year, following the 2014 pageant which was held in January 2015.
Supermodel Ashley Graham will join Harvey in hosting the event. Graham will serve as the backstage co-host.
