Alejandra Marisa Rodriguez, a 60-year-old lawyer, has defied age norms by clinching the prestigious Miss Universe title for the province of Buenos Aires, marking a historic moment in beauty pageant history. Her groundbreaking victory signifies a shift towards inclusivity and diversity in beauty standards.

Hailing from La Plata, the capital of Argentina’s Buenos Aires Province, Rodriguez’s triumph makes her the first-ever sexagenarian to achieve such a feat in beauty pageantry.
