Pia gets emotional as Miss U organization gives her one final surprise


Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach felt like she won an international pageant once again during her final photoshoot because of an unforgettable final surprise from her Miss Universe family.

The Filipina beauty queen had the chance to wear the Mikimoto crown, which was worn by Miss Universe titlist from 2002 to 2007.

“I was so excited because I've been asking to at least see the crown in person for the longest time. I asked for it on my birthday and all the occasions I can think of... And now I'm wearing it. It's like I won again!” she said.

Pia won the Miss Universe title over a year ago and has since wore the most recent crown design, inspired by the Manhattan skyline.

The said crown is made by Diamonds International Corporation and was first worn in 2014 by Colombian beauty queen Paulina Vega.

Pia described her final photoshoot as Miss Universe as being both bittersweet and exciting.

“This is going to be my last photoshoot as Miss Universe—wearing the crown and everything. It's a little bittersweet but I'm excited because we've got some great wardrobe here,” the beauty queen said.

Her photos will be featured in the official program book of the 65th Miss Universe pageant, which will conclude on January 30, 2016 with a grand coronation event.
