Ghana’s Ruth Quashie missed out on the ultimate at the Miss Universe 2017 after making it to the top 16.
Miss Universe Ghana 2017, Ruth Quashie was among the 92 finalists at this year’s global pageant held at The AXIS at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas on Sunday, November 26, 2017.
22-year-old South African, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters, emerged the ultimate winner.
South Africa won the crown for the first time in almost 40 years and replaces France’s Iris Mittenaere, who won the crown last year.
The crown is South Africa’s second after Margaret Gardiner won it in 1978.
Colombia’s Laura Gonzalez and Jamaica’s Davina Bennet came second and third respectively.
Steve Harvey returned as the show’s host despite botching the 2015 Miss Universe crowning. On Sunday, he poked fun at his mistake throughout the night. Three days after people in the U.S. celebrated Thanksgiving, Harvey told the audience he is “grateful for the Oscars,” referring to the best-picture flub at this year’s Academy Awards.
