Miss France crowned Miss Universe after 64 years

A 23-year-old dental student from France was crowned the Miss Universe 2017 in the annual pageant held in the Philippines. Iris Mittenaere from the small town of Lille in northern France said in reply to a final question from pageant host Steve Harvey that she would be honoured if she just landed among the three finalists, but was visibly stunned when she was announced winner among 86 contestants.
