Miss Jamaica falls off Miss Universe stage
Dr. Gabrielle Henry fell down the Miss Universe stage in Thailand. She sustained “minor wounds,” according to officials.
It’s almost time to crown the 74th Miss Universe.
The competition’s finale is being held in Thailand, and will air in the United States on Thursday, Nov. 20.
Contestants from 130 nations are celebrating the event’s theme – “The Power of Love” – by joining forces to recognize a “shared vision of compassion, inclusivity, and strength,” according to the event’s website.
Here’s how to watch the competition.
When is Miss Universe 2025 final?
The 74th edition of arguably the most competitive international pageant will air live at 5 p.m. PT on Thursday, Nov. 20, in the U.S.
Telemundo will air its yearly special on contestants at 4 p.m. PT.
There has been confusion about the event’s date due to the 12-hour time difference between the U.S. and Thailand, where the pageant is being held this year. The event will take place at 8 a.m. on Friday, Nov. 21, in Thailand. That means the event will take place on Nov. 20 in the U.S.
How to watch the 2025 Miss Universe finale
The Miss Universe will be broadcast live by Telemundo in the U.S., according to the competition’s website.
Telemundo’s broadcast will also be available on Peacock.
The Miss Universe website states that fans in countries not on the competition’s broadcast list can watch the event on the pageant’s YouTube page.
What is the Miss Universe preliminary competition for? How is the winner chosen?
In pageants, the preliminary competition is when the finalists are chosen.
The Miss Universe preliminaries have three components: the closed-door interview, the swimsuit runway, and the evening gown runway. The interview is intended to evaluate the contestants’ oratory skills. The runway shows evaluate stage presence, projection, and runway or catwalk skills.
On the final night, the event begins with the announcement of the top 30 scores from the preliminary competition — these are the 30 finalists.
The 30 finalists enter the final competition with a clean slate, as all scores from the preliminary round are erased. On the final night, the finalists will again do their swimsuit and evening gown runway walks. As the competition progresses, the Top 5 and the Top 3 will face a round of questions. The contestant with the highest cumulative score of the night will be crowned the 74th Miss Universe.
When it comes to the national costume parade, no punctuation is given for that. The national costume parade is just an accessory to the pageant.
Both the preliminary competition and the national costume parade are available on YouTube.
