The Miss France, Iris Mittenaere has been crowned the Miss Universe 2016 on Monday, January 30, 2017 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines. The first and the second runner-ups were Miss Haiti, Raquel Pelissier and Miss Colombia, Andrea Tovar respectively. Like last time, Steve Harvey hosted the show this year.
