Make it Through the End of the Top 16 Streak With These Hilarious Miss Universe Tweets
Hey, at least we'll always have Twitter to cheer us up.
(SPOT.ph) Well, we've closed another year—in terms of the Miss Universe pageant, that is. The coronation night concluded on Saturday, January 14, U.S. time in New Orleans, with Miss USA R'Bonney Gabriel earning the title of 71st Miss Universe. The 28-year-old Filipino-American delegate succeeds Harnaaz Sandhu of India. Venezuela’s Amanda Dudamel and Dominican Republic’s Andreína Martínez Founier-Rosado follow the new Miss Universe as runner-up and second runner-up respectively.

And while our queen Celeste Cortesi walks away from the competition without a crown, she gave us one heck of a run at this event, Darna costume included. We also had our own Miss Universe Catriona Gray spicing things up as one of the coronation night's hosts.
For the pageant-loving Philippines, this run was bittersweet as it was the first time in years that our contender didn't make it into the Top 16. But hey, if there's one thing we can always be sure of during pageants—apart from us stealing the show in one way or another—is that we will always know how to have fun. This year, we got the Twitterverse' eyebrow over the Top 16 results (including hilarious live-reactions from Queen Gray), people taking notes from Olivia Culpo's character growth, good ol' jabs on Filipino pride, and a whole lot more.
We recap Miss Universe 2023 in the best and funniest reactions:
