Despite the obvious disappointment of losing the Miss Universe Best National Costume title having being initially announced as the winner, Miss Universe Malaysia Shweta Sekhon has come out to say that she is 'totally fine' with Miss Philippines winning instead.

During the pageant at Atlanta yesterday, it was thought that host Steve Harvey had made a mistake in announcing that Miss Philippines had won the award, with Shweta, who was standing beside him on stage, correcting the host by saying “It’s not Philippines. It’s Malaysia".
