Miss Universe is one of the most important and prestigious beauty contests in the world, which brings together the most beautiful and talented women from different countries every year.

Since its first edition in 1952, the pageant has crowned more than 70 universal queens, but only five countries have managed to win three or more crowns each.

United States and Venezuela with a double crown?

This year the competition has a very interesting peculiarity: the representative of the United States of America has a mother from Venezuela. It is about Noelia Voigt, a 22-year-old girl who was born in Florida and is very proud of her Latin roots. On his social networks, he often shares an interesting cultural mix with his followers.

This is the dangerous diet that R’Bonney Nola Gabriel did to win Miss Universe 2023

So this year, if the United States would win again, many followers of the beauty pageant believe that the unusual “back to back” would be repeated, but with the difference that a Venezuelan woman would also “triumph” in some way. . (AND)
