Miss Colombia may have lost the crown but she won our hearts. Here's how

Miss Colombia may have lost the crown but she won our hearts. Here's how

It might be the most embarrassing moment of her life, but Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez has no complaints from what happened at the Miss Universe 2015 pageant in Los Angeles on Sunday night.


Ariadna Gutierrez was mistakenly named Miss Universe 2015 and the crown was taken away from her a few minutes later. However, the terrible mix-up didn't dampen her spirit.
Taking it in her stride, Gutierrez said she is still happy with the results of the pageant.
"Everything happens for a reason so I'm happy," she said in a video posted on the Miss Universe Facebook page.

On Sunday night, Colombia contestant Ariadna Gutierrez Arevalo was already wearing the crown as this year's Miss Universe winner, when host Steve Harvey returned to apologise.
Harvey said it was his mistake and he would take responsibility for not reading the card correctly that named contestant Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach this year's winner and Miss Colombia the first runner-up. Talking with members of the press afterwards, Harvey and an executive for pageant owner WME-IMG called it a human error.
"Nobody feels worse about this than me," he said.
Wurtzbach appeared stunned as she walked to the front of the stage alongside Arevalo and the last year's Miss Universe from Colombia removed the crown and placed it on Wurtzbach's head instead.
Harvey also apologised on Twitter, but at first misspelled the home countries of both the contestants. But he later corrected that.
"I'd like to apologize wholeheartedly to Miss Colombia & Miss Philippines for my huge mistake," he wrote. "I feel terrible."
Even before Sunday night's inexplicable oops moment, the pageant was involved in another controversy when a backlash against the pageant's former owner Donald Trump led Univision to pull out of the broadcast and the businessman to sell it in September.
