Miss South Africa Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters might have been the star of the night after bagging the 2017 Miss Universe crown, but out-going Miss Universe Iris Mittenaere made heads turn with her fabulous red gown during the pageant night.

Iris, who succeeded Pinay pride Pia Wurtzbach, was every inch perfect while strutting her stuff on stage at The AXIS in Las Vegas, Nevada during the night of the competition.

And the creative genius behind Iris Miitenaere’s red gown is none other than Dubai-based Filipino designer Michael Cinco.

The French beauty queen took to Instagram to thank Michael for designing this wonderful piece.

 

Thank you @michael5inco for this amazing dress ?? #finalwalk #missuniverse
