Fatima Bosch, 25, from Mexico, was crowned the 74th Miss Universe in Thailand, her country's fourth title.
The fashion design student emphasized authenticity to empower women and girls during the Top 5 Q&A.
Bosch's win was marred by claims from judge Omar Harfouch that the results were rigged, which both he and the MUO president deny.
Two judges withdrew from the panel, with replacements including Filipino singer Louie Heredia and former Miss Universe Natalie Glebova.
Miss Universe Thailand's national director clashed with Bosch prior to the coronation, leading to contestant walkouts and canceled events.
Bosch stated her win was destined by God and that what God has destined cannot be stopped by envy or fate.
The Philippines' Ahtisa Manalo finished as third runner-up.
