At the conclusion of the grand coronation night of Miss Venezuela 2019 held hours ago in Estudio 1 de Venevisión, Caracas, Thalia Olvino was crowned the new queen as she became the official representative of Venezuela in Miss Universe 2019. She succeeds and was crowned by Miss Venezuela 2018 Isabella Rodríguez.

The 20-year-old Thalia represented her province with sincerity and dedication and was a strong competition ever since the beginning. She was a part of our Top 6 favourites competing for the national crown as well.
