Miss Universe 2019: Miss Croatia Mia Rkman enters the Top 20 with her 'invisible crown' and the audience is loving it
The Miss Universe 2019 kicked off on Sunday night with 90 women from around the world all vying for the one title that succeeds current queen Miss Philippines Catriona Gray.
A new queen will be crowned at Tyler Perry Studios in Atlanta, Georgia where the 68th edition of the Miss Universe competition is being held. Making it to the semi-finals and one step closer to the crown is Mia Rkman Miss Croatia. Mia is an engineering student in Zagreb.
In the Europe category, Mia Rkman was the fourth contestant amongst the five that made it through. What also helped seal her position was the answer she had given to the introductory question that host Steve Harvey asked her.
Walking to the center of the stage, after she was called as one of the semi-finalists, Mia shared that she was shaking but good. Mia's question was about her only fear, which was falling down. Steve asked her if she thinks she will stay on her feet now.
She replied with an answer no one expected saying, "Two days ago we saw our queens fall, but they stood up with a gorgeous smile, with the confidence they kept walking. They showed me and the whole world even when you fall you got to stand up and keep going."
Adding to that Mia said, "So I just apologize to the production if I walk a little bit slower this night, just in case. But even if I fell I know that I'll stand up fix my invisible crown and keep walking."
This answer of hers won the hearts of fans and viewers worldwide. Taking to Twitter a fan wrote, "#MissAlbania was not nervous at all. And #MissIceland was hilarious. And #MissCroatia rescued that answer with the “invisible crown.” First two is top in this group. #Europe #MissUniverse." "If I fall, I will stand up, fix my invisible crown and keep walking." #MissUniverse," shared another fan.
