Miss Universe Judges Are All Women
MISS UNIVERSE JUDGES – The Miss Universe Organization (MUO) recently announced the panel of all-female judges.
The 71st Miss Universe will be held at Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana on Jan. 14 (Jan. 15 in Manila). Celeste Cortesi, who represents the Philippines, has already traveled to New Orleans for the competition. She will face off against 85 hopeful contestants. Harnaaz Sandhu of India will crown her successor at the end of the event.
Last December, it was revealed that longtime Miss Universe host Steve Harvey would not be returning. The organization stated that they wanted to “make sure we led with a female lens.”
In a post on the Miss Universe Organization’s official Instagram account on Wednesday, January 11, they announced that they have formed an all-female selection committee to take on the hard task of choosing the semifinalists for the prestigious pageant.
According to the organizers, the pageant’s selection panel will include Miss USA 2015 and Miss Universe 2015 second runner-up Olivia Jordan, Miss Universe titleholders Ximena Navarrete (Miss Universe 2010) of Mexico and Wendy Fitzwilliam (Miss Universe 1998) of Trinidad and Tobago.
