A wondrous moment, the crown changing hands. Miss Philippines  Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach became Miss Universe in 2015 in a ceremony that will go down in history as one of the most stunning crownings of all time. But on January 30 2017, it was Miss France Iris Mittenaere who won the title of the crown and Pia was there to be apart of the coronation night of the Miss Universe pageant.

Pia is one of the four Filipinas to have won the Miss Universe and since her crowning, has become a celebrated model, actress, and HIV/AIDS awareness advocate as well as an advocate for gender equality.

Let’s take a look back at Pia’s life and career, both on-screen, the runway, and of course, as a beauty queen.
