Alejandra Marisa Rodriguez, a 60-year-old Argentine, broke standards and made history when she won the prestigious Miss Universe title for the Buenos Aires province.
Her victory, which was revealed on Wednesday, not only honors her incredible journey but also highlights how committed the Miss Universe beauty contest is to promoting diversity and equality.
In addition to being a beauty queen, Rodriguez, who is from La Plata, the provincial capital of Buenos Aires, Argentina, is also an accomplished journalist and lawyer, demonstrating the diversity of modern beauty.
Her success is evidence of her persistence, breaking stereotypes and breaking expectations of age and appearance.
She has become the first female in her age group to win a beauty award of this kind. Her grace, elegance, and irresistible smile won over judges and viewers alike, touching people all over the world.
Her determination is evident in videos posted on social media as she gets ready to compete in the coming national Miss Universe Argentina selection, which will take place in May 2024, and represent Buenos Aires.
If Rodriguez wins, she will raise the Argentine flag on the international platform at the Miss Universe World pageant, which is slated to take place in Mexico on September 28 this year.
Last year, the Miss Universe organization declared that there would be no age restrictions for pageant competitors. Any lady over the age of 18 can compete as of this year. The pageant was once restricted to ladies between the ages of 18 and 28.
Haidy Cruz, a 47-year-old beauty pageant competitor who will represent the Dominican Republic in Miss Universe 2024, is another contender making waves.
