"I would use it to be a transformational leader," she said. "As a very passionate designer, I've been sewing for 13 years, I use fashion as a force for good."

Miss Universe 2018 Catriona Gray and "Access Hollywood" correspondent Zuri Hall, who has hosted the last two Miss USA competitions, will give commentary backstage.

This year's Miss Universe will also be the first led by new owner Anne Jakapong Jakrajutatip and her Thailand-based company, JKN Global Group. It was announced in October 2022 that Jakrajutatip would become "The first woman to own the brand, that's going to be a change in and of itself for 70 years," Emmerich told Variety.
