Miss Universe organisers: Philippines, not Malaysia, won Best National Costume

Oops! It looks like Steve Harvey was right all along! Miss Philippines Gazini Ganados, and not Miss Malaysia Shweta Sekhon, is the rightful winner of the Best National Costume crown at the recent Miss Universe 2019 pageant at Atlanta in the United States.

It was initially reported that Harvey had made a mistake in announcing that Miss Philippines had won the award, as Shweta corrected the host by saying “It’s not Philippines. It’s Malaysia, ” while standing beside him on stage.
