Amid the controversy surrounding the Miss Universe management, the pageant held in Thailand proceeded smoothly, and beauty queens from around the world gathered in the Land of Smiles to take over the reins from last year's winner, Denmark's Victoria Kjær Theilvig.

Fatima Bosch of Mexico was named this year's Miss Universe, two weeks after she walked out alleging mistreatment. Bosch bested the likes of Thailand's Praveenar Singh, Venezuela's Stephany Abasali, the Philippines' Ahtisa Manalo, and Cote d'Ivoire's Olivia Yace.
In the pageant's Q&A segment, when asked how to use this platform to empower young girls if she wins this pageant, Bosch responds:
"As Miss Universe, I will say to them, believe in the power of your authenticity. Believe in yourself. Your dreams matter. Your heart matters.
"And no, never let anyone make you doubt about your worth, because you're worth everything. And you are powerful, and your voice needs to be heard. Thank you."
Congratulations to Fatima Bosch and the finalists of the 74th Miss Universe pageant.
