The Miss Universe 2023 contest is here! The swimsuit competition is always a highly anticipated part of the annual show and it definitely didn’t disappoint. This year, each woman wore capes that included a symbolic message representing their country.

The 71st Miss Universe competition featured 83 of the most beautiful and talented women in the world. The show took place in New Orleans, Louisiana on Saturday, January 14, 2023 and aired live on The Roku Channel. The hostesses of the Miss Universe 2023 contest, former Miss Universe, Olivia Culpo, and Emmy Award-winning producer and broadcaster, Jeannie Mai Jenkinsgave accurate reviews!

There were dozens of women vying for the coveted spot, but there could only be one winner to take home the crown, given to her by last year’s Miss Universe, Harnaaz Sandhu.
