IN PHOTOS: Bombshell Beauty Queen Hair At Miss Universe 2021

It was truly the most beautiful day in the universe—with the 2021 Miss Universe recently concluded at the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino, in Hollywood, Florida. Miss Mexico Andrea Meza took home the crown, and the Philippines' very own Rabiya Mateo reached the top 21. 

It was an evening filled with pageant excitement as per usual, including our favorite parts—the swimsuit and evening gown competition! Among the crucial questions asked had themes related to the pandemic, gender equality, leadership, domestic violence, and mental health—all of which the candidates answered in an amazing manner.

All the ladies looked their beauty queen best, in glamorous bejeweled evening gowns and makeup, and crown-worthy hair! We didn't see a lot of updos this year, save for a sleek, high ponytail. All the rest of the ladies opted for either pin-straight locks, beach-y soft waves, or full-on bombshell curls. Swipe through the gallery below to check out the prettiest hairstyles we spotted at the competition:
