List of Miss Universe runners-up and finalists
This article provides the names of the runners-up in the Miss Universe pageant since the pageant's first edition in 1952.
Table of Miss Universe runners-up and finalists
The pageant has awarded a top-five finalists from 1952 to 1989 and from 2001 up to 2014, with the first, second, third and fourth runner-up being awarded. From 1990 to 1997, the number of finalists was increased to six. From 1998 to 2000 and since 2015, it was reverted to five but only up to the second runner-up was awarded (regardless if the pageant post-announces the placements of the other 2 delegates who made it to the Top 5).
The first runner-up of each edition of Miss Universe is the second placer behind the candidate who is crowned as Miss Universe. In some cases, she shall take over the title of Miss Universe, if:
- The outgoing titleholder cannot fulfill her duties. This could happen and may result to resignation, giving up the title, or dethronement
- The titleholder is dethroned due to deeds that violate the organization's policies
There were instances that the winner is not replaced by the first runner-up, when she decides to voluntarily resign from her position, given the formal permission from the organization (1952 and 1974).
This table shows the top-five finalists of each competition, from its inception in 1952.
