Miss Universe 2015 Pia Wurtzbach has announced that she has inked a deal with New York-based models management company International Management Group (IMG).
Wurtzbach made the announcement at the opening of the 65th Miss Universe pageant at the Mall of Asia Arena.
“It was a remarkable year and I’ve really grown as a woman, I’ve learned so many things. I just signed with IMG, so I’m very excited about that. I do hope that everyone keeps supporting me even after I pass on the crown,” she told Steve Harvey.
There was also some banter after the opening montage flashed back to that fateful moment when Steve incorrectly named Miss Colombia the winner.
Later, Pia said teasingly, “Steve, thank you for making me the most popular Miss Universe!”
Steve replied, “Thank you for making me the most famous host of Miss Universe.”
Popular IMG models include Miranda Kerr, Gigi and Bella Hadid, and Tyson Ballou.
