Miss Universe Cuba 2024 is Marianela Ancheta


After 57 years, Cuba is set to return to the Miss Universe pageant with the newly crowned Miss Universe Cuba 2024 Marianela Ancheta.

The 31-year-old entrepreneur representing the Central Region beat 23 other contestants to win the national competition held on Thursday, September 26 in Miami, Florida. She also bagged the Miss Photogenic award.

Alina Robert and Maylin Hernández were named the first and second runners-up, respectively.

"Today has been a day full of emotion and gratitude, going through media and sharing this achievement with all of you. I don't have enough words to thank you for all the support and love you have given me since the beginning," said the new Miss Universe Cuba.

"This triumph is not only mine, it is of every Cuban who dreams, fights, and never gives up and of all the people who follow me. Let's go all out to Miss Universe," she added.

Marianela will now prepare to represent Cuba at the Miss Universe 2024 pageant in Mexico this November.

Cuba's last participation at Miss Universe was in 1967. This year's Miss Universe Cuba was held under the new national director Prince Julio Cesar.
