Friday, September 27, 2024 by Sophia Martinez

The Cuban actress and television host, Alina Robert, secured the second place in the Miss Universe Cuba 2024 beauty pageant. The coveted title ultimately went to Marianela Ancheta, who will represent Cuba after a 57-year hiatus from the prestigious competition. Although Alina did not win the crown, her charisma and elegance earned her the admiration and support of the audience, who viewed her as a strong contender for the title.

Alina's journey in the pageant world, culminating as the first runner-up, signifies a new chapter in her entertainment career. However, this wasn't Alina's first foray into beauty contests. After relocating to the United States from Cuba in 2008, she participated in various beauty pageants. In 2012, she won the title of Miss Cuban American, which allowed her to represent the Cuban community in international competitions. She achieved notable placements, such as Queen of the World Carnival in Ecuador (2012) and third runner-up in Miss Caribbean World the same year.

A Multifaceted Career

Born on November 22, 1986, in Havana, Alina Robert, now 37, boasts a diverse artistic career beyond beauty pageants. She excelled in theater from a young age, but her major breakthrough came in 2014 when she became a finalist in Univision's "Nuestra Belleza Latina," finishing in fourth place and gaining significant popularity. Since then, her career has been on an upward trajectory.

Alina has appeared in prominent productions such as "Betty en NY," "Mariposa de Barrio," and "Make Love Great Again." Furthermore, she co-hosted the iconic show "Sábado Gigante" alongside Don Francisco. Her most recent achievement, participating in Miss Universe Cuba, adds another accolade to her impressive résumé.
