With the announcement of the requirements for the delegates of Miss Universe Colombia 2020 under the guidance of national director Natalie Ackermann, the organization and the pageant fanatics have been in search for a potential candidate who will represent Colombia at Miss Universe 2020 stage. Miss Universe Colombia decided to branch out from Senorita Colombia Organization very recently.
With a list of delegates being prepared for the competition, Maria Alejandra Lopez Perez has caught our attention for the title as she seems like a potential candidate to represent Colombia at Miss Universe stage. She is 25-years-old and stands 176 cm tall and has studied Industrial Engineering from University Sergio Arboleda in Colombia. She works as a model and is fond of mathematics and Colombian music. Mari´a’s mother was also a beauty queen in the 90s and she has inherited the same skillset.
Maria is not new to the pageantry as she has represented the province of Risaralda at Miss Colombia 2013 where she was adjudged as the second runner-up and later represented Colombia at Reina Hispanoamericana 2013 where she was crowned as the new queen at the end of the event finale. The diva also participated at Miss Mundo Colombia 2015 where she was crowned as the queen and earned an opportunity to represent Colombia at Miss World 2015 stage. Even though Mari´a was highly appreciated for her performance on Miss World 2015 stage she was unfortunately not placed at the end of the event finale but she surely made a name for herself in the beauty pageant world and has garnered a massive popularity at the end of the event finale. Now, the gorgeous beauty has returned to the Miss Universe Colombia stage to represent the province of Risaralda at the competition and has confirmed the news by sharing her registration video on her social media account. She has mentioned that she has always wanted her fans and followers to be the part of her journey and that’s why she is sharing a small sample video.
Mari´a is one of the strongest contenders for the title as she is experienced not only in terms of being a beauty queen but also because post her beauty pageants she has worked with various renowned designers and brands in Colombia which has helped her to finesse her work and performance on-stage. She has gained a lot of intensive knowledge about beauty pageants and has equally worked on herself to be ready to represent Colombia at Miss Universe 2020 stage. The diva’s social media account is filled with her beautiful pictures along with beautiful and inspiring captions which is one of the reasons why she is one of the most liked and loved beauty queen in Colombia.
The diva strongly feels that if someone wants to be at a point like in her case it’s representing Colombia at Miss Universe stage; then he/she must work hard and consistently in order to reach their goals because nothing can come to you without putting efforts. She believes that an individual who aspires to be at the top must keep evolving, integrating, and transcending to be a better version of themselves and should be proud of what they have become. Mari´a likes to believe that people especially beauty queens who are constantly scrutinized by the society based on how they look, eat, talk, or dress up, should not pay any head towards them, and let that go and focus towards their goal.
Maria has been utilizing the pandemic to work on herself for the competition and the skillset that she believes would help her to win the competition. She has been very open with her struggles to adjust in the world but has assured that she will keep going until she finds what she needs. She has mentioned, “I allow myself to be vulnerable as children are, I get to know myself every day and learn something new every day. We are all spiritual, because we all have a spirit in which our soul composed of energies dwells. What differentiates me from how I live my life and how perhaps others live it, is my consciousness. We are the same.”
Maria likes to travel and spend her time at the beach with her close friends and family. Mari´a is thankful to everyone who has helped her to stay focused and motivated throughout her pageant journey and believes that they will keep supporting her at her new journey i.e., Miss Universe Colombia 2020 stage. The diva’s strong and open-end opinions are surely something to look forward too and she speaks three languages including Spanish, English and French. The diva is dedicated, committed, disciplined, and completely focused on winning the title for her country.
