Miss Universe 2021 was the 70th Miss Universe pageant, held at the Universe Dome in Eilat, Israel on 13 December 2021.[a][2]
At the end of the event, Andrea Meza of Mexico crowned Harnaaz Sandhu of India as Miss Universe 2021. It was India's first victory in twenty-one years, and the third victory of the country in the pageant's history. Sandhu became the first ever Sikh woman to win the title of Miss Universe.[3][4][5]
Contestants from eighty countries and territories competed in this year's pageant. The competition featured the return of Steve Harvey as host; Harvey last served as host during Miss Universe 2019.
