LOOK: The Miss Universe crown over the years

Every queen needs a crown. For the Miss Universe, no object symbolizes the pageant more than its crown, gloriously worn by the winner as she soaks in the cheers and adulation of the crowd around her.
Since 1952, the Miss Universe had seen a variety of crowns being passed on from one winner to another.
The crown has evolved over the years and pageant aficionados keep a keen eye on the crown as much as the pageant participants.
And why not? The Miss Universe crown can add more glamour and prestige to the winner, who, as part of her official duties, needs to wear the valuable headpiece during official functions throughout her reign.
With that said, we take a look at the evolution of the Miss Universe crown from its 1952 debut up to the present.
