Wurtzbach was crowned as Miss Universe in Las Vegas last month after an infamous blunder watched by millions on television worldwide.
American host Steve Harvey announced the wrong winner at first — Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez. He later corrected himself, announcing that Wurtzbach of the Philippines is the real Miss Universe.
