A month later, Miss Universe released a video of Gray explaining her side of the story, with the beauty queen saying she got carried away with her dancing.

“So one of the things I loved the most about the parade is they have this moving band and they have the drums, and it makes me want to dance. So I end up dancing although I’m not a very good dancer,” she said.

“Guys, I have a confession: the Mikimoto has seen better days as a result of my dancing. I’m so sorry,” added the beauty queen, as she showed the piece of her crown that broke off.

Replying to the clip, the Miss Universe Twitter page said: “Don’t worry, it will be fixed in no time.”

Gray did not mention in the video if the crown that broke during the parade is the actual headpiece conferred on Miss Universe winners, or is simply a replica.

The real Mikimoto crown, which depicts a rising phoenix and is made with pearls and diamonds, reportedly costs $250,000 or around P13 million.
