London: At the age of 60, the woman who decorated the crown of ‘Miss Universe Buenos Aires’ on her head says that age is not a weakness but an asset.
According to the British newspaper The Independent, Alejandra Rodríguez created a new history by taking the title and has surprised the world while challenging stereotypes.
She is the first 60-year-old woman in the history of the beauty pageant to win the title and has also dispelled the perception that people associate beauty with age.
Usually, such titles have been reserved for young maidens.
After receiving the award, she said, “I am very excited about a new beginning in beauty pageants. We are entering a phase that is not limited to women’s physical beauty but also a set of values.”
She also expressed her happiness to be the representative of people of this age, ‘I think the judges saw my confidence and passion.’
She is determined to participate in the Miss Argentina pageant. It should be noted that previously, only those women who were between 18 and 28 years of age were eligible to participate in the Miss Universe pageant.
The body that organizes the Miss Universe title announced earlier in 2024 that the age limit for female contestants has been removed and that any woman above the age of 18 can compete in the pageant.
