60-Year-Old Argentinian Lawyer-Journalist Wins Miss Universe Buenos Aires Pageant Setting New Record

A 60-year-old lawyer and journalist from La Plata, Alejandra Rodríguez was recently crowned Miss Universe Buenos Aires. She is shattering all stereotypes, marking a monumental shift in beauty pageants as the oldest Miss Universe contestant.

The expansion of the maximum age limit was revealed in September last year and will take effect for the first time during the 2024 competition.

Gabriel, who won the Miss Universe title at the age of 28 in 2022, currently holds the record as the oldest contestant to achieve this honour.

Kudos to her lifestyle and discipline, Rodriquez’s looks are still turning heads. “The basic thing is to have a healthy life, eat well, do physical activity,” she told the outlet. “Normal care, nothing too extraordinary, and a little genetics,” she said.

“What I try to do is intermittent fasting, I think that helps a lot. Then I try to eat organic foods, a lot of fruit, a lot of vegetables, and use good creams,” she said.

Rodriquez said she worked out three times a week, mainly walking and some jogging, “I’m not extreme.”

Rodriquez’s win at the Miss Buenos Aires competition came from a pool of 35 contestants of various ages.

“We were 35 participants of all ages, from 18 to 73 years old was the oldest. There was no age category,” Rodriguez said.
