92 women from around the world came together in a hope of nabbing the title of Miss Universe 2017. And while Ireland unfortunately did not take home the crown, last night's performance was the best from the country in seven years. Cailín Toibín from Cork nabbed a place in the top 16, becoming the first contestant to reach a spot so coveted in seven years since Roz Purcell came fifth in 2010.

Many former contestants who won Miss Universe ended up launching incredible careers like Olivia Culpo who now works as a famous model and influencer, even launching a clothing collection with PrettyLittleThing earlier this year. Cailín Toibín will now return to Ireland to resume her title as Miss Ireland and continue working as a model.

In order to capture the wonders of Ireland and know what it truly is to be irish I had the privilege to travel around my beautiful country and show our wonders.. Being irish is far more than just being irish it’s is pride of our heritage, enjoyment of our culture but most of all it is sharing it with the world that we are a nation of people who are proud to say we are irish and travel the world sharing who we are and what we represent.. I now represent not only the 4.7 million people in Ireland but I also represent the irish around the world, irish culture and heritage is embedded all around the world and I have the honorary role of representing them on an international stage this Sunday at the @missuniverse final.. ??☘️ I have been given a role that empowers men and women around Ireland to speak up for what they believe in and I hope that this Sunday I can further that by empowering people around the world with the influences of the land that I call home ‘Ireland’.. ❤️ PHOTOGRAPHER ? : @vanessaworkswithlight DIRECTOR: @brittanymasonofficial #missuniverse #missireland #ireland #irishpride #letsdothis #teamireland

Steve Harvey also returned to the stage this year despite his well-known mess-up in 2015 when he announced the wrong winner of the pageant. Thankfully however this year saw no mistakes and Miss South-Africa received a smooth crowning ceremony with no hiccups. We here at Her are delighted for Cailín in doing such a fantastic job representing Ireland and we wish her every success. Feature photo credit - Getty Images
