Rodriguez will now represent Buenos Aires in the upcoming national selection for Miss Universe Argentina in May 2024. This groundbreaking change stems from the Miss Universe Organization’s decision in September 2023 to remove age restrictions for contestants.
Previously limited to women aged 18 to 28, the competition now welcomes women of all ages, allowing for a more diverse range of experiences and perspectives.
Expressing her excitement about this new chapter in beauty pageants, Rodriguez stated, “I am thrilled to be part of this new era where women are celebrated for more than just their looks, but for their unique qualities.”
