The “funny” and bizarre crowning ceremony never seen before in the history of Miss Universe
The coronation moment of the new Miss Universe Philippines made people laugh out loud.

The final of Miss Universe Philippines 2024 took place on the evening of May 22. The owner of the prestigious crown was the beauty Chelsea Manalo. After just 1 night, the coronation of the new Miss Universe Philippines went viral on social networks, making the audience “laugh out loud” when an extremely awkward situation arose.

Accordingly, Chelsea Manalo only had the crown placed on her head by the previous Miss, instead of pinning it in her hair as usual. During the entire process of wearing the sash, Chelsea Manalo was almost motionless, not daring to move for fear that the crown hanging on her head would fall. It was not until the staff below the stage reminded her that the previous Miss turned to put the crown back on Chelsea Manalo in a more neat and secure manner. Thanks to that, the new Miss had her first steps in her new position smoothly.

Chelsea Manalo’s precarious crowning display went viral on social media

Luckily, she was able to wear the crown properly afterwards so that she could have a complete coronation. If the crown had been worn as unsteadily as it was at first, Chelsea Manalo would have probably just stood in one place to keep the crown from falling.

On social media, the moment the new Miss Universe Philippines 2024 wore the crown with her faith was widely shared and discussed by netizens because it was so unique. “I thought I was watching a magic trick to keep balance”, “This case is truly proof of the saying ‘Live proudly like a queen, don’t bow your head because the crown will fall'”, “There was a crown but it was not worth mentioning”, “Unique Miss Universe Philippines”, “The most precarious coronation scene ever seen”, “Just being named Miss and already having a disaster”, “Who said being Miss is easy”, netizens humorously commented.

Beauty fans around the world are quite surprised, with many questions when they do not understand why Michelle Dee – the previous Miss Universe could place the crown so naturally on the contestant’s head. At the same time, perhaps she did not practice, prepare in advance for the situations that will happen, imagine the hairstyles that the contestants of the program can choose in the Final night. Michelle’s calmness when “placing” the crown properly on Chelsea’s head and then leisurely handing over the sash made many people unable to hold back their laughter.

Chelsea Manalo – the new Miss Universe Philippines – 24 years old. She is Filipino-American. Chelsea Manalo is from Bulacan and graduated from a tourism college. With this victory, Chelsea Manalo will represent the Philippines at the upcoming Miss Universe contest in Mexico.
