After less than 4 minutes that Gutiérrez has been crowned, Steve Harvey walked back to the stage and apologized with his erroneously announcement. He said that Miss Colombia was the 1st Runner-Up and Miss Philippines is the real winner in the Miss Universe 2015. He admitted that he mistakenly misread the results and flashed the card to the crowd. He even stated to let him take control of everything and not to allow the wonderful ladies hold on it. Miss Universe 2014 Paulina Vega of Colombia handed the crown to Miss Philippines from Miss Colombia’s head.
