MARIO Lopez and Miss Universe 2012 Olivia Culpo will be this year’s hosts for the 69th Miss Universe competition. It was announced by the official Miss Universe Twitter page on April 21.
Lopez and Culpo are not new to hosting international beauty pageants. Lopez hosted way in 2007 with Vanessa Lachey (Miss Teen USA 1998), while Culpo co-hosted the 68th beauty competition with Vanessa Lachey and Steve Harvey in 2019.
Harvey hosted the competition from 2015, the year he created an iconic moment when the Philippines’ very own Pia Wurtzbach took the crown, up until 2019.
A total of 73 candidates from across the world will be competing for the Miss Universe 2020 crown. Rabiya Mateo represents the Philippines this year and has already arrived in Florida for pre-pageant preparations.
