R'Bonney Gabriel, last year's winner, and the ninth American to win Miss Universe, appeared onstage to congratulate and crown Palacios.

Palacios donned a sheer beaded gown during the preliminary competition.

The Miss Universe delegates participated in a preliminary competition three days before the official festivities. At the time, Palacios walked the stage wearing beige stiletto heels and a sheer floor-length gown adorned with blue and purple beads.

Palacios kicked off the competition in a glittering pink minidress.

During her introduction, Palacios wore a strappy pink minidress with a slight slit and silver stilettos that sparkled beneath the stage lights. Per the official Miss Universe X account, Clarisse Designs created the contestants' introduction gowns.

Palacios' national costume drew inspiration from a bird native to Nicaragua.

Palacios wore a sparkling black and blue bodysuit with purple accents throughout. The ensemble, designed by Jorgito Salazar, featured a feathered train, elaborate wings, and a matching headpiece.

On Instagram, Palacios said she modeled her national costume after the Nicaraguan grackle, a bird indigenous to her country.

During the swimsuit competition, Palacios wore a baby pink strapless bikini.

The official Miss Universe X account posted that Rubin Singer designed Palacios' swimsuit. Her bikini featured a strapless top adorned with ruffles and bikini bottoms with small cutouts along the hip.

Her evening gown featured an assortment of jewelry and a blue cape.

Palacios' shimmering off-the-shoulder gown was adorned with an array of jewels intricately placed along the bust and the length of the fabric on each side. She paired the gown with sheer gloves decorated with jewels and a blue cape.
