### Notes

* ↑ Armi Kuusela relinquished her title as Miss Universe 1952 shortly before this ended to get married with Filipino businessman, Virgilio Hilario, on May 4, 1953. Despite this, her resignation was not made official by the Miss Universe Organization.

## Countries/Territories by number of runners-up
### 1st Runner-Up

The first Runner-Up of each edition of Miss Universe is the second placer behind the candidate who is crowned as Miss Universe (first placer). In some cases, she shall take over the title of Miss Universe, if:
* The outgoing titleholder cannot fulfill her duties. This could happen and may result to resignation, giving up the title, or dethronement
* The titleholder is dethroned due to deeds that violate the organization's policies. This has only happened in 2002.
There were instances that the winner is not replaced by the first Runner-Up, when she decides to voluntarily resign from her position, given the formal permission from the organization (1952 and 1974).
The second place finisher being designated as 1st runner-up has been awarded seventy-three times (1952–2024).
This table lists the number of 1st Runner-Up titles by country. There are some special considerations:
* Hawaii competed as an independent territory from 1952 to 1959, before it joined the United States as a member of federation, holding one 1st Runner-Up title on its own.
* The United Kingdom (currently competing under the name of Great Britain) competed separately as England (from 1955 to 1962 and then again from 1964 to 1990), Scotland (from 1961 to 1986 and then again from 1988 to 1990) and Wales (from 1961 to 1990), holding a total of four 1st Runner-Up titles which are counted separately.
* As Panama took over the Miss Universe title in 2002, it is unknown if the 1st Runner-Up position was taken by another candidate after the succession took place.
The current 1st Runner-Up is Chidimma Adetshina from Nigeria, as for the edition that took place on November 16, 2024 in Mexico City, Mexico.

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).

## 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. Venezuela, Thailand, and Mexico were exempted due to the conflict of interest as the Miss Universe is currently jointly owned by the three countries.
