WATCH: Steve Harvey Names Wrong Miss Universe Contestant as the Winner in Embarrassing 'Mistake'
After being incorrectly crowned the new Miss Universe on Sunday -- an honor that was soon given to the actual winner, Miss Philippines, in one of the most awkward live TV moments of all time -- the 21-year-old pageant star kept her head held high.
"I'm happy! I'm happy for all what I did to [reach] this dream," Gutierrez said. "Thank you all, thank you for voting for me."
Miss Colombia's emotional words were soon drowned out by a chorus of her friends and fellow contests yelling, "We love you!"
