The 71st edition of Miss Universe is just days away, on January 14th. Called “The Greatest Celebration of Women,” 90 women from around the world will compete in the international beauty pageant. It’s all happening at the Ernest N. Morial Convention Center, in New Orleans, Louisiana, in the United States.
