But there is a catch -- she is sixty years old! Yes, you read it correctly, it is not sixteen, but sixty. Rodr¨ªguez broke stereotypes as she outperformed 34 other contenders and was crowned Miss Universe for the province of Buenos Aires on Wednesday.
Age rule relaxation helped her
She will contest in the Miss Universe Argentina beauty pageant on May 25, where she will be up against contestants aged between 18 and 40.
Rodr¨ªguez, a divorcee was able to take part in the pageant after the Miss Universe beauty contest eliminated an age limit that had been enforced since 1958 last year.

This allowed contestants must be of legal age to participate, which opened the door for many more mature hopefuls than the usual set of contenters -- women between the ages of 18 and 28. According to reports, the runner-up is a 73-year-old.
