The 71st Miss Universe pageant concluded on Saturday in New Orleans, with the current Miss USA, R’Bonney Gabriel, taking the crown. This iconic Miss Universe pageant featured some of the most beautiful women from all over the world. A total of 84 contestants gathered in New Orleans to compete for the coveted title of Miss Universe 2023. Harnaaz Sandhu of India took home the crown last year. The women compete in three events: swimsuit, evening gown, and a personality interview. The highlight for many was Jakrajutatip’s empowering speech, her first since taking over the organization in 2022, in which she ushered in a “new era”. The owner of the Miss Universe franchise , Jakkaphong “Anne” Jakrajutatip, explained how she turned “pain into power” at the annual pageant. Jakrajutatip purchased the Miss Universe franchise, which at one point, was co-owned by Donald Trump, for $20 million in 2022. The Thai businesswoman is also the CEO of JKN Global Group and is the founder and director of “Life Inspired for Transsexual Foundation”, a charity organization that advocates for transgender rights in Thailand. Jakrajutatip is one of the richest trans people on earth. Gabriel – the pageant’s winner – said that she would demonstrate how inclusive Miss Universe is by being a “transformational leader”.
