Marianela Ancheta, representing Cuba at Miss Universe 2024, is capturing attention in Mexico, the host of the 73rd edition of the prestigious beauty pageant. In these days leading up to the grand event on November 14, where the new queen will be crowned, the young Cuban is relishing a series of pre-gala activities.
A particularly enchanting experience occurred on Friday night, on the eve of the Day of the Dead celebrations, a culturally significant occasion in Mexico. "Night of the Catrinas. What a magical experience! Thank you, Mexico, for such a warm welcome. If you could have heard them cheering 'Cuba' last night... My heart is full! LOVE YOU ALL!" Marianela shared alongside photos from the event.
She donned a stunning floor-length white gown that was form-fitting with sheer details, complemented by makeup inspired by the iconic Catrina figure, creating a truly breathtaking look. Days earlier, she had posed for a photo shoot wearing her crown and an impressive outfit, embodying the essence of a true queen.
Marianela arrived in the Aztec country in late October, proudly showcasing the Cuban flag on her social media, marking this significant chapter in her journey.
