One of the strongest Latinas vying for the 69th Miss Universe is Estefanía Soto Torres of Puerto Rico. Her academic credentials are nothing to sneer at. She has a Bachelor’s degree in Foreign Languages and a Masteral in Intercultural Mediation – with sociological, anthropological and gender perspective. All of her learnings were acquired in three different countries – France, Belgium and Mexico. She speaks English, French and Spanish, and can do conversational Dutch. On a lighter side, though, she is a collector of lip balms and National Geographic Magazines.
Now in these photos, she presents her National Costume for the competition: “For this National Costume in honor of Puerto Rican Walter Mercado’s life trajectory and unifying message of love and acceptance, 86,400 pieces of hand-set Austrian crystals were used.
The crown is made in golden jewelery and precious stones denote the 12 zodiacal signs and the stars in the sky. It is designed and composed of 78 separate pieces, one for each town of Puerto Rico, and includes 6 last quarter moons that embody the search for our sixth universal crown!”

Very gorgeous with very good credentials. She is at par with Rabiya and Miss USA
Correction: on par
WOW! Estefania Soto Torres is the youngest to compete at the Miss Universe 2020., 29 years old and tallest at 5′ 11″.
@ Miss Queen Wannabe One of us said MUGreatBritain is overage… 29 ang age ceiling?…
Well, let’s just look at it this way. It’s unusual, the times. And if MUO strictly observes the ruling, lalo’ng mababawasan ang makasasali… Anyway, ‘eh ‘di huwag overage ang koronahan nila para wala’ng away. Kung participation numbers lang naman ang habol, choosy pa ba? 🙂
she seems to look like titas of puerto rico?
If Argentina and India aren’t able to compete because of COVID19 , then I hope they allow them to join the 70th Miss Universe later this year or early in 2022 …
They both deserve a much higher placement than this PR
Argentina is competing. She just posted on her IG account that she left for Florida yesterday.
Argentina has one of the best credentials and trained by Osmel hence sure TOP10… plus covid therefore possible TOP 5… highest placement could be a runner-up since her country’s economy has always been shit…
Yes. But Argentina? Hmmmm perennial economic turmoil. They boast themselves to be “white” but they cannot manage their economy well.
@Diana
Exactly! She’s not gona win but her highest placement could be a runner-up and that is due to her own merrits and trainning from Osmel.
Not even in the TOP 10 prettiest MU Puerto Rico I have seen but definitely one of the best credentials..
I see a sure TOP 10
And a possible TOP 5 if she get’s lucky enough….
But definitely not the winner this year. Sorry.
If you combine Gazini’s face with that of Dayana Mendoza…
Gwapa siya kaayo uy. Will she be the 6th Puerto Rican to become Miss Universe? Abangan…
Pwede 1st runners up si Miss Peru or Miss Curacao.
Basta 2nd runners up si Inday Rabiya.
