Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach of the Philippines was crowned Miss Universe 2015, but only after some stage drama.
The ceremony's host Steve Harvey mistakenly mixed up the winners' names at the event, where India failed to clinch the title for the 15th straight year.
Wurtzbach beat as many as 79 contestants, including India's Urvashi Rautela who didn't find a spot even in the top 15, here on Sunday.
The top three contestants included beauties from the Philippines, Colombia and the US, who beat others in rounds like national costume, swimsuit and evening wear.
Earlier while announcing the results, Miss US Olivia Jordan was placed third and Wurtzbach was announced as the first runner-up. As a result, there was a mix up in the crowning ceremony too.
Miss Colombia Ariadna Guiterrez jumped with joy after the host took her country's name as the winner. She was crowned by another Colombian beauty -- Paulina Vega, who had clinched the crown in 2014.
It could have been two Miss Universe titles in a row for Colombia but soon after Guiterrez took her first walk as the winner, the host admitted to have made a mistake in announcing the winners.
"I will take the responsibility for this. It's on the card. Don't hold it against the ladies. Still a great night," Harvey told the audience.
