A 60-year-old Argentinian lawyer is turning heads and blowing minds after being crowned Miss Universe Buenos Aires on Wednesday,

The stunning Alejandra Rodriquez will now go on to represent the Argentinian province in the upcoming Miss Universe competition in May.

Rodriquez had long ago given up hope of entering the worldwide beauty pageant, but her fortune changed when the rules changed last year.

In its inception in 1952, Miss Universe contestants’ ages were required to fall in the strict range of 18 to 28 years old and be single with no children.

But the pageant ruled in 2023 that women between the ages of 18 and 73 were allowed to compete regardless of any other factor. At 60, Rodriquez finally had her shot.

R’Bonney Gabriel is currently the oldest contestant to claim the Miss Universe title, winning the competition at 28 years old in 2022.

The newly crowned Miss Buenos Aires became a journalist out of high school before studying law and becoming a legal advisor for a hospital, she told Argentinian television.

Rodriquez, whose looks are still turning heads credits her lifestyle for her appearance, saying she keeps to her diet and remains active. “The basic thing is to have a healthy life, eat well, do physical activity,” she told the media.

“Normal care, nothing too extraordinary and a little genetics.”

The 60-year-old says she sticks to her diet, which consists 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.”
