Steve Harvey returns to host the 2021 Miss Universe Pageant, with former Miss USA Cheslie Kryst and TV star Carson Kressley hosting all the backstage action. This is Harvey’s sixth time hosting the Miss Universe event. Of course, his first — and perhaps most memorable — time as host was in 2015, when he accidentally announced Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutiérrez as the winner when it was really Miss Philippines, Pia Wurtzbach.
Harvey’s daughter Lori Harvey will be part of the judging panel, which will be an all-female panel for the first time in Miss Universe history. The other Miss Universe 2021 judges include Miss Universe 2016 Iris Mittenaere (France), actresses Rena Sofer, Urvashi Rautela, Marian Rivera and Adamari López, and supermodel Adriana Lima.
Performers for Miss Universe 2021 include JoJo and the international pop star Noa Kirel.
The reigning Miss Universe is Mexico’s Andrea Meza, and Meza will crown her successor from more than 75 hopefuls from around the world.
This year’s pageant features the first-ever Miss Universe representative of Bahrain, along with two other contestants from the region: Miss Universe United Arab Emirates and Miss Universe Morocco. This is also the first time that a delegate from the UAE has competed in the competition, and Miss Morocco returns to the competition for the first time in more than four decades.
The contestants competed in a preliminary round on Friday, and the semifinalists will be announced on the live broadcast. The women will then compete across the traditional swimsuit, evening gown and interview rounds before Miss Universe 2021 is crowned.
