60-year-old wins Miss Universe Buenos Aires, breaks stereotypes
Alejandra Marisa Rodriguez is redefining beauty standards and setting new records
Shattering stereotypes, for the first time in the history of beauty pageants, a sixty-year-old model became the Miss Universe.
This marks the beauty pageant's attempt at diversity and inclusivity and embracing beauty irrespective of age.
Last year, the beauty pageant announced that it would no longer hold the age bar to only 28 years. Instead, anyone above the age of 18 can participate in the beauty pageant. This marks a revolutionary move by the beauty pageant to embrace beauty at all ages.
