What is 1998 miss universe?

In 1998, the Miss Universe pageant was held on May 12 at the Stan Sheriff Center in Honolulu, Hawaii. Wendy Fitzwilliam, representing Trinidad and Tobago, was crowned as the winner. She was the second contestant from her country to win the title. Fitzwilliam was 25 years old at the time and was pursuing a legal career. Miss Venezuela, Veruska Ramirez, was the first runner-up, and Miss South Africa, Sonia Raciti, was the second runner-up.

There were 84 contestants who participated in the pageant from around the world. The theme of the pageant was "Island Elegance." The preliminary competition included a swimsuit round, evening gown round, and a personal interview with the judges.

The pageant was hosted by Bob Goen and Ali Landry, who was the Miss USA winner from the previous year. The musical performances were given by Will Smith, Brian McKnight, and N'Sync.

Fitzwilliam's reign as Miss Universe was marked by her advocacy of education and her work with organizations promoting HIV/AIDS awareness. She has continued to work as a lawyer and is also a television host and producer.
