MIAMI (AP) - A new Miss Universe will be crowned Sunday night in Miami, with participants from 88 countries taking part.
The contestants were narrowed to 15 during Wednesday's preliminary competition, but the results won't be announced until the live show, which airs at 8 p.m. EST on NBC.
"Today Show" personality Natalie Morales is hosting the show. And before Miss Universe, Gabriela Isler of Venezuela, crowns the next winner, viewers will hear a performance from singer Nick Jonas.
The women have been participating in events around Miami from a golf outing to a Zumba class in the past two weeks.
"All of the contestants are really beautiful souls and we've gotten to get to know each other during the 20 days and we've become great friends," said Miss Egypt Lara Debbane. "We're excited and we're going to support each other."
