Miss Colombia made headlines this year when she was mistakenly announced as the winner in the recently concluded Miss Universe 2015. Sofia Vergara look-a-like Ariadna Gutiérrez had to relinquish the crown to the rightful winner, Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach. Colombia bagged their second Miss Universe crown last year. It would’ve been a back-to-back win for the country had Gutiérrez clinched the spot. Supporters of the two contestants have exchanged some words in defense of their respective delegates but all is well now as everybody seemed to have moved on from the fiasco. The country first won the Miss Universe back in 1958. Colombia also has three Miss International (1960, 1999, 2004) titles. They are still waiting for one of their beauties to bring home the Miss World and Miss Earth crowns.
