Miss France is the new Miss Universe.
Iris Mittenaere, 24, a dental surgery student, beat 12 other finalists to take the crown.
As Miss Universe, she will be campaigning for dental and oral care around the world.
First and second runners-up were Miss Haiti and Miss Colombia, respectively.
Jamaica's Isabel Dalley did not advance to the top 13.
The top finalists hailed from Kenya, Indonesia, Mexico, Peru, Panama, Colombia, Phillippines, Canada, Brazil, France, Haiti, Thailand and the U.S.
The annual pageant was held at the Mall of Asia Arena in Manila, Philippines.
Host Steve Harvey joked on the show that he got it right this year, after last year's foul-up of initially announcing the wrong winner.
Rapper Flo Rida and R&B group Boys II Men provided entertainment.
