Andrea Meza, a 26 year-old beauty from Chihuahua, has been hailed as the 69th Miss Universe. The pageant was held in Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Hollywood amidst the backdrop of a global pandemic. The contest was delayed for almost a year after countries from around the world suspended international travel, conducted several lockdowns, and banned gatherings to arrest the spread of the dreaded coronavirus.
Andrea, who said in her final speech that as society advances so do stereotypes and to never permit someone to tell you that you are not valuable, is no stranger to international beauty pageants. In 2017, she was hailed as the first princess at the Miss World beauty pageant. She is now the third Mexican woman to win the coveted Miss Universe crown. It was first won for Mexico by Lupita Jones in 1991 and Ximena Navarrete in 2010.
