Everything Miss Universe gets when she wins the pageant - a luxury apartment, free clothes, and more
But you might be wondering: What exactly did Gutierrez lose, besides the title of Miss Universe?
The winner of the pageant gets quite a lot, but the biggest perk may be all the free publicity - and despite lower ratings this year, with the viral mix-up, both Gutierrez and Alonzo are going to get plenty of that.
But as Miss Universe, Pia Alonzo will be entitled to a series of press appearances and travel that help raise awareness for charitable causes. The pageant explains in an FAQ what Miss Universe does after nabbing the crown:
Beyond media attention, Miss Universe gets a year's salary, a fancy New York City apartment, and plenty of free stuff (especially clothes and beauty products) provided by sponsors. The prize package for this year includes:
