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. Rodríguez's victory has sparked a wave of inspiration and empowerment for women of all ages, proving that beauty knows no bounds. Her win serves as a reminder that confidence and grace are timeless qualities that transcend age. According to a report on Hola, Rodriquez thought she had surpassed the age limit for global beauty pageants, but her perspective shifted with the revised regulations. Initially, Miss Universe contestants had to be unmarried and childless, aged between 18 and 28, since its establishment in 1952. However, the pageant's recent decision permits women aged 18 to 73 to participate, disregarding previous criteria.

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. The recently crowned Miss Buenos Aires shared with Argentinian television network El Trece that she pursued a career in journalism after high school before delving into law and eventually serving as a legal advisor for a hospital.
She expressed her excitement about the new age limit, stating that it allows more women to showcase their talents and represent their countries on the international stage. The decision to expand the age limit was met with positive feedback from fans and contestants alike, with many applauding the organisation for promoting inclusivity and diversity. Kudos to her lifestyle and discipline, Rodriquez's looks are still turning heads. "The basic thing is to have a healthy life, eat well, and do physical activity," she told the outlet. "Normal care, nothing too extraordinary, and a little genetics," she said. The 60-year-old said she stuck to her diet, which consisted of healthy eating. "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 credits her healthy lifestyle and disciplined diet for maintaining her youthful appearance at 60 years old. She emphasised the importance of intermittent fasting, organic foods, and good skincare as key components of her regimen.
