Miss Peru 2019 held its special edition’s coronation night on 20th October 2019 where former beauty queens from all over the country competed for the national crown and at the end of the event finale, Samantha Batallanos Cortegana was crowned Miss Miss Peru Grand 2020 as she became the official representative of Peru in Miss Grand International 2020.

The Journalism student is not a rookie in beauty pageants, since last year she participated in the Miss Landscapes international 2018. She comes from an orthodox Peruvian family where her parents had to work hard to educate her and her sisters and that made her a dreamer. She has always loved to act, dance and sing since she was a child. She is also about to release her first song which has always been a dream for the beauty queen.

Under the theme of ‘Reinas de Reinas’, ten former beauty queens whom represented Peru in different international pageants before, competed again for that national crown. This move came after Anyella Grados and Tiffany Yoko Chong were dethroned and stripped off their titles.

At the coronation night, Kelin Rivera Kroll was also crowned Miss Universe Peru 2019 as she will now represent Peru in Miss Universe 2019. Her court boasted of 1st runner-up – Lesly Reyna (Region Lima) and 2nd runner-up – Diana Rengifo (Ucayali). Along with her,Janick Maceta was crowned Miss Supranational Peru 2019 as she will now represent Peru in Miss Supranational 2019.
