Miss Universe 2015 - Pia Wurtzbach

|
Pia Wurtzbach has a super-fit body thanks to a rigorous training regimen before the competition. Pia once shared that she had to put aside all her eating preferences to follow a strict diet for months that only included egg whites, chicken and boiled vegetables. |

|
Pia Wurtzbach's most memorable coronation moment in Miss Universe history. |

|
Pia revealed that she almost cried during the leg endurance training session to get used to standing on stage for hours during the competition. |

|
In addition to beauty care, Pia also had to learn many skills such as professional makeup, choosing costumes, and posing. In particular, the 26-year-old beauty spent a lot of time practicing walking, performing, and taking photos in each outfit she would wear in the contest, from swimsuits, evening gowns to national costumes. |

|
Looking back on those 9 months of hard work, Miss Universe 2015 said she felt most guilty towards her family: “At that time, I had no time for family or friends, and didn’t even dare promise to go out or hang out with anyone. But we have to make sacrifices if we want to fulfill our dreams.” |

|
After the contest, she increasingly proved that she was completely worthy of the crown she received. |
