A 60-year-old female lawyer from Argentina was selected as Miss Universe Buenos Aires. Miss Universe has abolished the age limit for contestants starting this year, creating a new pageant history.
According to the Buenos Aires Times on the 25th (local time), Alejandra Rodriguez (60) from La Plata won the championship at the age of 60 for the first time in beauty pageant history. Rodriguez, a lawyer and journalist, took first place, beating out 34 participants aged 18 to 73. “I am excited to represent a new paradigm in beauty pageants,” Rodriguez said in her acceptance speech. “We are opening a new stage where women represent not only physical beauty but also other values. “I am the first person in this generation to start this.”
Rodriguez said she felt the judges appreciated her confidence and passion. Rodriguez, who won Miss Buenos Aires, is considered a strong candidate for Miss Argentina.
The media said of this award, “She challenged old beauty standards and inspired women around the world. Her win not only symbolizes personal achievement, but also signals a broader shift toward inclusiveness and diversity in beauty pageants.” “I do it,” he said.
Last September, the Miss Universe organizing committee announced that it would abolish the age limit for beauty pageant participants starting this year. In the past, only women between the ages of 18 and 28 could participate in the competition, but now any woman over the age of 18 can participate in the competition. Heidi Cruz, 47, is also competing to represent the Dominican Republic in the 2024 Miss Universe pageant.
Miss Universe gave Cruise, who always wanted to participate in a beauty pageant, but her dream was thwarted when she became a mother at a young age, an opportunity to dream again. She said she was “determined to show that my age can be an asset and not a weakness,” adding, “I remain focused on my goals and I will achieve them.”
Rodriguez is scheduled to represent Buenos Aires and participate in the Miss Universe Argentina contest to select Argentina’s most beautiful woman on the 25th of next month. The Miss Universe pageant, where beauties representing the world will compete, will be held in Mexico on September 24th.
