Miss Universe 2016, will be the 65th Miss Universe pageant. It will be held on January 30, 2017 at the Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines. Pia Wurtzbach of the Philippines will crown her successor at the end of the event. This will be the second time in the history of the competition that the pageant will skip the entire year, following the 2014 pageant which was held in January 2015.
Pageant
Organization
Main article: Organization of Miss Universe 2016
On July 18, 2016, Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach made a courtesy call with Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte in regards to hosting Miss Universe 2016 in the Philippines.
On July 28, 2016, the country's Department of Tourism (DOT) has unilaterally declared that the Philippines will host the Miss Universe 2016 pageant but it was only on November 3, 2016 that the Miss Universe Organization (MOU) officially announced the country as host of the pageant.
The pageant is being organized by the LCS Group of Companies, the DOT and the MOU.
Main venue
In September 2016, the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay was announced to be the main coronation venue of the pageant according to the Philippine Tourism Secretary Wanda Corazon Teo. The Philippine Arena in Bocaue, Bulacan was the other venue considered by the Department of Tourism as the main coronation venue of the pageant, but the Miss Universe Organization disapproved of the venue due to "security reasons".
Marketing
A reality-documentary television program entitled Journey to the Crown: A Celebration of Beauty was shown on ETC on November 6, 2016 in the Philippines as part of marketing of the pageant.
Kick-off event
A kick-off party was hosted on December 9, 2016 at Conrad Manila, a hotel in Pasay, marking the beginning of the pageant.
12 contestants from Asia Pacific were in attendance for the event. They were:
2Ancillary and other events
Alongside with the main pageant, ancillary events will be held which has no effect on the contestants' total pageant score. The contestants are scheduled to participate in fashion shows in Davao, Cebu, and Vigan. Each venue will have a theme; Mindanao fabric for Davao, beachwear for Cebu, and terno for Vigan. The contestants will partake in a different event in Bicol.
On December 13, 2016, some of the pageant's candidates had a photoshoot with whale sharks in Oslob, Cebu. This activity was criticized by Greenpeace Southeast Asia, Marine Wildlife Watch, and other wildlife conservationist groups in the Philippines who discourage human interaction with the whale sharks, as they are considered endangered species. The Department of Tourism (DOT) said that there were only five candidates present and the activity was an occular inspection. Following criticisms, the DOT is considering to do the whale watching activity for the final show in Donsol, Sorsogon instead.
On December 14, 2016, the DOT cancelled the fashion show originally scheduled on January 19, 2016 at the SMX Convention Center in Davao City to prevent further "controversy" following the claim of local-based designers led by the Davao Fashion and Design Council Foundation, Inc. (DFDCFI) that they have been "brushed off" by the pageant organizers. The group claimed that they were never consulted and questioned why they were asked to dress up local models instead of being in charge of pre-show cocktail of the main event which is tasked to non-Mindanaoan designer, Renee Salud. Following the cancellation announcement, the DFDCFI said that they respect the decision but urged the organizers that Davao City to remain as one of the places to be visited by the candidates. On December 22, 2016, it was announced that the fashion show will push through after Salud and the DFDCFI cleared their misunderstandings and decided to help each other.
Coronation night
The pageant program was initially announced to start at 5 a.m. (UTC+08:00) but it was later announced that the program will run from 8 a.m. until 11:00 a.m.
Solar Entertainment, one of the pageant's partners, was tasked to provide broadcast coverage of the competition in the Philippines. In December 2016, TV5, GMA Network and ABS-CBN secured rights to air live coverage of the pageant. Earlier in November its was reported that "all local networks" including GMA Network and TV5 will broadcast the pageant upon the request of President Rodrigo Duterte.
Additionally, TV5 has exclusive rights to air the preliminary event as well as exclusive Philippine digital rights. TV5 will post behind the scenes content on their online TV5 studio
The 12 women will be selected from the contestants as semifinalists. Following the evening gown competition, six out of twelve contestants will advance to the question and answer round where each contestant will be given a question to answer by the jury. The three finalist will be made known before announcing the Miss Universe 2016 and the runner ups.
Performers
In January 2017 it was confirmed that American entertainers Flo Rida and Bruno Mars will perform at the musical show to be conducted in the final night.
Presenters
American presenter Steve Harvey has a five year contract with the Miss Universe Organization for hosting the Miss Universe pageant. In contrast, Philippine President Rodrigo Duterte expressed hesitation on Harvey hosting the event due to Harvey announcing the wrong winner at the Miss Universe 2015. In response, Philippine Department of Tourism head, Secretary Wanda Teo proposed the idea of having a Filipino woman co-host the event to neutralize the president's displeasure. On November 3, 2016, Harvey was confirmed to return as host.
American model Ashley Graham will serve as the backstage host.

Designations
- Unoaku Anyadike MBGN 2015 was appointed to compete at Miss Universe 2016 by Silverbird Group, the license holder for Miss Universe in Nigeria after MBGN 2016 pageant was cancelled because of economic recession plaguing the country. Anyadike was crowned MBGN 2015 and was sent to Miss World 2015.
- Keity Drennan was appointed Señorita Panamá 2016 at a small ceremony organized by Justine Pasek and Cesar Anel Rodríguez, the national directors of the Señorita Panamá pageant, after they were appointed the new franchise holders for Miss Universe in Panama. Previously, Medcom Corporation, under the direction of Marisela Moreno, held the franchise for Miss Universe in Panama.
- Teodora Dan was appointed as "Miss Universe Romania 2016" after a casting call was held by the national director Ernest Hadrian Böhm, who obtained the franchise license of Miss Universe in Romania.
- Dijana Cvijetić was appointed Miss Universe Switzerland 2016 by Veeranda Aeberli, the new national director of the Miss Universe Switzerland pageant, because of a lack of time to hold the country pageant. Previously, François Matthey held the franchise for Miss Universe in Switzerland.
- Carolyn Carter was chosen as Miss Universe US Virgin Islands 2016 by Tom Youth, the national director of the Miss Universe US Virgin Islands pageant.
- Dang Thi Le Hang was appointed Miss Universe Vietnam 2016 by Tony Nguyen Quoc Toan, the national director of the Miss Universe Vietnam pageant. Dang was the 2nd runner-up at the 2015 Miss Universe Vietnam pageant.
Replacements
- Stephanie Geldhof was appointed to compete at Miss Universe 2016 by Darline Devos, the President of the Miss Belgium pageant, as a replacement to Lenty Frans, Miss Belgium 2016, who will only compete at the Miss World 2016 pageant due to conflicting schedules with the Miss Belgium 2017 pageant slated for early January 2017. Geldhof was the 1st runner-up at the Miss Belgium 2016 pageant.
- Paula Schneider was crowned Miss Bolivia Universo 2015 and was entitled to compete at the Miss Universe 2016 pageant; however, Schneider resigned in January 2016 citing personal reasons. Antonella Moscatelli, Miss Bolivia Universo 2016, replaced Schneider as Bolivia’s representative at the 2016 Miss Universe pageant.
- Darina Kulsitova was appointed to compete at Miss Universe 2016 by the Miss Kazakhstan Organization after the original winner of Miss Kazakhstan 2015, Regina Valter was disqualified after getting married. The announcement was made a day before the contestants would officially start arriving in the Philippines. Darina previously competed at the Miss Kazakhstan 2014 national pageant.
- Jenny Kim was appointed to compete at Miss Universe 2016 by Park Jeong-ah, the national director of the Miss Universe Korea pageant and also the new franchise holder for Miss Universe in Korea. Kim replaces Min-ji Lee, Mission Korea 2015, who would not compete at the Miss Universe 2016 pageant after Hanju E&M, the organizers of the Miss Korea pageant, lost the Miss Universe franchise.

- Kushboo Ramnawaj was handpicked to represent Mauritius at Miss Universe 2016 by Nevin Rupear, the national director of the Estrella Mauritius Organisation, after he was appointed the new franchise holder for Miss Universe in Mauritius.

Ramnawaj was apparently crowned Miss Mauritius 2014 and was supposed to compete at the Miss Universe 2015 pageant but was replaced because of a disagreement with the former franchise holder.
- Brenda Jimenez was crowned as the new Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2016 by Desiree Lowry, the national director of the Miss Universe Puerto Rico pageant, after Kristhielee Caride, the original winner, was dethroned due to her dismissive behaviour. Later, Caride challenged her dethronement in court, which ruled against her. Jiménez represented the municipality of Aguadilla at Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2016 and was the 1st runner-up at the pageant.
- Yuliana Korolkova was appointed Miss Universe Russia 2016 by the Miss Russia Organization as a replacement to Yana Dobrovolskaya, the winner of the Miss Russia 2016 pageant, who will compete only at Miss World 2016 due to the conflicting schedules of the two international pageants. The winner of the Miss Russia pageant usually participates at both Miss Universe and Miss World pageants. Korolkova represented Orenburg Oblast at Miss Russia 2016 and was the 1st runner-up at the pageant.
