The 70th edition of Miss Universe will take place in Eilat, Israel on December 12, 2021. Steve Harvey, 64, will host the coronation ceremony, which will feature a performance by Israeli singer Noa Kirel, 20.
Mario Lopez, 47, and Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo, 29, hosted Miss Universe 2020. Harvey hosted the 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 editions.
Miss Universe 2020 Andrea Meza, 26, of Mexico was crowned on May 16, 2021. After she crowns her successor, she will be the Miss Universe titleholder with the shortest reign.
As of October 31, 2021, 66 women have been confirmed to compete for the Miss Universe 2021 title. At this point, here are the 10 candidates who I believe will make it to the top:
- Kedist Deltour (Belgium)
- Georgina Kerford (Cayman Islands)
- Debora Hallal (Mexico)
- Chelsi Shikongo (Namibia)
- Nora Emilie Nakken (Norway)
- Nadia Ferreira (Paraguay)
- Michelle Colon (Puerto Rico)
- Lalela Mswane (South Africa)
- Jisu Kim (South Korea)
