Miss Universe experience was 'amazing'- Erika R. Creque
“This has been amazing, “she said in a Facebook post immediately following the show, on January 29, 2017 in Manila, Philippines.
Life now complete
“Our new winner is Miss France, whenever I listen to her I feel so proud…I am so happy for her,” she said, adding that, “I couldn’t find Boys to Men, but I shook their hands yesterday and told them hi. I feel pretty accomplished and I already got a picture with Steve [Harvey] yesterday, so my life is complete now.”
Boys to Men were performers at the esteemed event and American Comedian and Host Broderick Stephen "Steve" Harvey, who made headlines for the wrong reasons when he made the grave error of announcing the wrong Miss Universe last year. That crown was won by the Philippines, but this time around, Mr Harvey pointed out that he got it right.
France wins crown
Iris Mittenaere, 23, of France walked away with the Miss Universe Crown, beating some 85 women from all over the globe in a three-hour-long show in Manila, Philippines.
Raquel Pelissier, 25 of Haiti, took the first runner-up spot while Miss Colombia Andrea Tovar, 23, was the second runner-up.
"I'm very proud to bring this crown to Europe…If I am here today, it is because I am living my dreams," were some of Mittenaere’s words to members of the media shortly after being crowned.
The international pageant was previously owned by US President Donald J. Trump.
Kenya, Indonesia, USA, Mexico, Peru, Panama, Colombia, Philippines, Canada, Brazil, Haiti, and Thailand were named the Top 13 runners to the crown.

Instead, they prefer to say loads of negatives about each other and the "EXPATS" who they hate so much I'm also sure if they were being treated differently would have had no problem in supporting the young lady and others.
A BIG CONGRATULATIONS on your achievements, grace and beauty!
It is wonderful that the BVI is present and well represented on the world stage
