“She’s Miss Universe, but in NYC she was just Pia Alonzo Wurtzbach cruising along Columbus Circle Friday,” the TMZ posted on its website last Saturday.

“No crown in sight as Miss Philippines strolled undercover. And no evidence she was being tailed by Miss Columbia, or her posse,” it added.

Wurtzbach was wearing casual clothes, running shoes, a cap and with earphones on when the photo was taken.

After winning the crown in Las Vegas last week, she flew to New York City to do her duties as Miss Universe 2015.

Wurtzbach’s win became controversial after an awkward moment when host Steve Harvey made a mistake by mixing up the first runner-up and the Miss Universe 2015. He first announced that it was Miss Colombia Ariadna Gutierrez who won the title but later corrected that it was Wurtzbach. RAM
