The crowd erupts in cheers as Nicaragua wins the title of Miss Universe 2023, with Miss Thailand coming in first place. Amidst the glittering glamour and tears of joy, watch the historic crowning moment unfold.

The final question of Miss Universe 2023 was “If you could live one year in another woman’s shoes who would you choose and why?”. While Miss Australia honored her mother by saying that she would like to step into her mother’s show, Miss Thailand named Malala Yousafzai as her answer. She said her struggle and achievements highly inspire her. However, Miss Nicaragua’s answer was the most different and unexpected. She mentioned Mary Wollstonecraft’s name who is known as the women's rights activist and mother of feminism.
