MIss Universe 2018

Catriona Gray from the Philippines was crowned Miss Universe 2018, and the representatives from South Africa and Venezuela secured the first runner-up and second runner-up spots. She is the fourth woman from the country to win the title.

The 24-year-old Ms Catriona Gray was asked in the final round about the most important lesson she has learnt in life and how would she apply it in her time as Miss Universe.

She said, Working in some of the poorest areas of my country, I found that it was a lack of child support, not poverty, that killed their dreams. A child once told me, “Cat, that’s just not my life, and those dreams aren’t made for me.” But I stand here today because someone believed in me and we owe it to our children to believe in them.”
