Miss South Africa, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, Wins Miss Universe 2017

After three (long) (but beautiful) hours of pageant histrionics, host Steve Harvey crowned 22 year-old Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, Miss South Africa, as our 2017 Miss Universe. Out of 92 finalists - the largest group ever of contestants to compete for the title - Nel-Peters won one of the four preliminary judge-awarded finalist spots awarded to contestants from her part of the globe (the somewhat amorphous "Africa & Asia Pacific" region), and remained a clear front-runner throughout the live broadcast, from swimsuit round to "final look," not to mention both of the tricky Q&A rounds now incorporated into the pageant. During the show, Nel-Peters also shared the story of being carjacked on the night she was crowned Miss South Africa (her phone was stolen, but thankfully not her crown!), and how she channeled the trauma into running self-defense programs for young women in her country.

However, among all this old is some new: A Christmas tree in the East Wing, dedicated to service members and their families, included iPads where visitors can write messages to soldiers overseas.
