2nd Runner-Up

The second Runner-Up of each edition of Miss Universe is the third placer behind the candidate who is crowned as Miss Universe (first placer) and the first Runner-Up (second placer). Although it has never happened, the second Runner-Up is supposed to take over the Miss Universe title if both the original winner and the first Runner-Up are unable to fulfill their duties/resign their titles. For example, if a Miss Universe winner is required to give up her title and the first Runner-Up is unable/does not want to assume the winner's position, the title then passes to the second Runner-Up.

The third place finisher being designated as 2nd runner-up has been awarded seventy-three times (1952–2024).

This table lists the number of 2nd Runner-Up titles by country. There are some special considerations as well:

The current 2nd Runner-Up is María Fernanda Beltrán from Mexico, as for the edition that took place on November 16, 2024 in Mexico City, Mexico.

Continental Queens

Since 2024, Miss Universe has awarded continental queens. The continental queens are selected by the most number of social media engagements during the competition proper, regardless of their placements in the competition. [7] Venezuela, Thailand, and Mexico were exempted due to the conflict of interest as the Miss Universe is currently jointly owned by the three countries.
