Miss Universe Makes History: 60-Year-Old Alejandra Rodríguez Wins Local Title
In a groundbreaking move that challenges traditional beauty standards, Alejandra Rodríguez, a 60-year-old lawyer and journalist from La Plata, Argentina, has been crowned Miss Universe Buenos Aires 2024. Her victory makes Rodríguez the oldest woman to ever claim such a prestigious local title in the Miss Universe competition system.
No Longer An Age Limit For Miss Universe Contestants
Rodríguez’s trailblazing win was made possible by the Miss Universe organization eliminating age restrictions in 2023. Prior to this change, contestants were required to fall within the narrow 18-28 year old range. But those ageist rules are a thing of the past, with the pageant now open to women from 18 up to 73 years old.
“Inaugurating A New Age of Beauty” Says Rodríguez
The 60-year-old stunner is fully embracing her pioneering role in ushering in this new inclusive era. “I am thrilled to be representing this new paradigm where women are judged on more than just physical beauty,” Rodríguez stated. “I am the first of this generation to start promoting these values.”

Shooting For The Miss Universe 2024 Crown
While already making history, Rodríguez’s journey is just beginning. Next, she will compete in the Miss Argentina 2024 pageant on May 25th, vying for the opportunity to represent her country at the Miss Universe 2024 finals in Mexico on September 28th. Were she to claim that national title, Rodríguez would become the oldest Miss Universe contestant in the pageant’s over 70-year history.
Redefining Beauty Across The Age Spectrum
No matter how far Rodríguez advances, her impact is already profound. Her unapologetic presence is challenging deep-seated prejudices about whose looks and life experiences can be celebrated on an international stage. She embodies the truth that authentic beauty transcends fleeting youth and emerges from poise, confidence and inner grace.
A Diverse New Era Of Beauty Pageants
Alejandra Rodríguez isn’t alone in cracking the archaic age ceiling either. Also preparing for Miss Universe 2024 is Haidy Cruz, a 47-year-old mother of two set to represent the Dominican Republic. The pageant’s updated inclusive age policies are finally bringing overdue diversity and elevating remarkable women across the age spectrum.
