Who is hosting the annual beauty pageant?
It is time to forgive Harvey for last year's gaffe when he wrongly announced Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez as the winner instead of Miss Philippines Pia Wurtzbach. As the 60-year-old American TV personality returns to host the three-hour long event, he will be joined by comedian Ashley Graham for backstage news.
Who are the judges for the 65th annual gala?
Three former Miss Universe winners will be on the judges panel this year: Sushmita Sen (India's first ever Miss Universe); Dayanara Torres, ex-Miss Universe from Puerto Rico; and Leila Lopes, first Miss Universe from Angola. Joining these ladies will be Mickey Boardman, Francine LeFrak and Cynthia Bailey to keep score and decide on this year's winners.
Performances to look out for
R&B sensation Boyz II Men and Grammy nominee Flo Rida will be taking to the stage to entertain audience as the Miss Universe 2016 competition unfolds.
Who is competing from UK and USA?
Jaime-lee Faulkner, 27, from South Yorkshire is set to represent Great Britain in the beauty pageant this year. Faulkner works for a local charity and her charming personality sets hopes high for bringing the crown home.
Deshauna Barber is representing the US this year, who is also the first woman actively serving in the US Army Reserves. However, Miss Philippines remains a top favourite especially with the event being held in her home country.
