The Miss Universe Organization has unveiled a new crown that will be worn by the winner of its 75th edition.
Dubbed “The Radiance of an Eternal Legacy,” the dazzling piece was presented on Friday during the delegates’ meeting for the 2026 Miss Universe pageant in San Juan, Puerto Rico.
Among those attending the gathering was Philippine representative Bea Millan-Windorski.
The crown is crafted from 18-karat white gold and adorned with 3,150 diamonds.
It was designed by renowned jewelry designer George Wittels in collaboration with Paris-based fine jewelry house Maison d’OR.
Its design draws inspiration from the legacy of past Miss Universe titleholders, reflecting the pageant’s journey and evolution throughout its 75-year history.
The number “75” is intricately incorporated into the back of the crown, while three prominent diamonds at the front symbolize the past, present, and future of the competition.
The diamond on the left honors women who broke barriers and paved the way for future generations, while the one on the right represents those who have become agents of change in their respective communities.
At the center is a diamond symbolizing the women who will carry the Miss Universe legacy forward in the years to come.
Meanwhile, anticipation continues to build over which delegate will earn the distinction of wearing the new crown as the Miss Universe 2026 competition approaches. The pageant’s grand finale is scheduled for November 24.
