Harnaaz Sandhu exudes royalty in official Miss Universe portrait
Harnaaz Sandhu exudes royalty in her official portrait as the new Miss Universe.
The Miss Universe Organization shared photos of the beauty queen in her bejeweled gown with the Mouawad crown perched on her head.
Harnaaz, hailing from India, was crowned by Miss Universe 2020 Andrea Meza at the 70th Miss Universe pageant's coronation night held in Israel on Monday morning (Philippine time).
During the final Q&A portion, all finalists were asked for advice they would give to young women on how to deal with the pressures they are facing today.
Her winning answer was: "Well I think the biggest pressure the youth of today is facing is to believe in themselves to know that you are unique and that's what makes you beautiful. Stop comparing yourselves with others and let's talk about more important things happening worldwide. Come out and speak for yourself because you are the leader of your life. You are the voice of your own. I believed in myself and that's why I'm standing here today."
Philippine bet Beatrice Luigi Gomez, meanwhile, bowed out of the competition after finishing in the Top 5.
