Her run for the global beauty pageant may have come to an end, but she says her remarkable journey is the “first step of a change” in society’s perceptions.
A 60-year-old Argentine beauty queen’s run for Miss Universe may have come to an end, but she says her remarkable journey is the “first step of a change” in society’s perceptions. Alejandra Rodriguez made headlines across the world in April when she was crowned Miss Buenos Aires, becoming the first sexagenarian to win a contest organized by the Miss Universe franchise. While she was unable to repeat that triumph on Saturday to become Miss Argentina and earn the right to represent her country in the Miss Universe pageant, she did win the “best face” category and celebrated her breakthrough as marking the beginnings of a shift in how beauty is perceived. “This is the first step of a change that is coming,” Rodriguez, an attorney and journalist by profession, told CNN en Español after the contest. “I hope this (my participating) marks a before and after. I think exterior beauty is always the main focus, I don’t think that it’s wrong to select a beautiful woman, but maybe the concept of beauty needs to expand,” she said. Rodriguez’s participation was only made possible after the Miss Universe organization changed its rules related to age.
