For the first time ever, a 60-year-old Argentine shattered stereotypes and carved her name into the history books by clinching the coveted title of Miss Universe for the province of Buenos Aires.

Alejandra Marisa Rodriguez emerged winner of the Miss Universe beauty pageant after the age restriction was removed for the first time and contestants of all ages above 18 were accepted.

Hailing from La Plata, the capital city of Argentina’s Buenos Aires Province, Rodriguez is not just a beauty queen; she’s a seasoned lawyer and a journalist.

She becomes the first woman of her age cohort to clinch such a prestigious title.
