The Inspiring Story of the Oldest Contestant in Miss Argentina Competition.

Alejandra Marisa Rodríguez, a 60-year-old woman, participated in the Miss Argentina pageant. She wanted to be the oldest Miss Universe contestant ever but did not win the crown.

Rodríguez did win the "best face" award and became famous after winning Miss Buenos Aires. She was happy to try something new and inspire others.

For the swimsuit competition, Rodríguez wore a one-piece suit with a shawl. The winner was 29-year-old Magali Benejam who wore a bikini and will compete in Miss Universe.

This year, Miss Universe changed its rules to allow women over 28 to compete. The pageant has been criticized in the past but is trying to be more modern.

Some people liked that Rodríguez competed at 60, while others thought it set unrealistic expectations for aging. They felt it pressured older women to look young and fit.
