**Mexico City, Mexico** – The world is holding its breath as the 73rd Miss Universe competition reaches its climax in Mexico City. The grand finale, set for November 16th at 8 PM ET (6:30 AM IST on November 17th), will see 130 contestants vying for the coveted title, currently held by Sheynnis Palacios of Nicaragua.
This year’s pageant has already seen its share of drama, including the disqualification of Italy Mora for violating contest rules. The preliminary rounds and national costume show, featuring India’s Rhea Singha in a stunning “Golden Bird” costume, took place on November 14th. Singha, Miss Universe India 2024, is a strong contender representing the country.
The winner will be crowned with the newly unveiled “Lumière de l’Infini” crown, a pearl-encrusted gold tiara created by Jewelmer. The event will be streamed live on the Miss Universe YouTube channel, allowing viewers worldwide, including those in India, to witness the crowning moment. A prestigious judging panel comprising influential figures from various fields will determine the next Miss Universe.
