Peruvian Beauty Catalina Marsano Crowned Miss International Queen 2024
The Miss International Queen 2024 pageant concluded on the evening of August 24th with the victory of Catalina Marsano, the representative from Peru. She outshone 22 contestants from various countries to claim the prestigious crown. In the moment she was announced as the winner, Catalina Marsano couldn’t hide her surprise and was visibly moved as she received the crown from Miss Solange Dekker, the former titleholder from the Netherlands. This event marked a significant turning point in the life of the 28-year-old queen, a woman confident in her balanced physique, impressive catwalk skills, and exceptional poise.
Catalina Marsano made a strong impression during the Q&A segment, where she shared her life story filled with challenges. She revealed that she had gone through a divorce five years ago because her husband couldn’t accept that she was a transgender woman. However, instead of succumbing to despair, Marsano rose above her circumstances and decided to participate in Miss International Queen 2024 to prove her worth to society and to inspire others who share similar experiences.
The final result of the competition surprised many spectators. Before the finals, Catalina Marsano was not considered one of the standout contestants and was not predicted to win by beauty pageant experts. Even during the announcement of the numerous subsidiary awards before and during the final night, her name was not mentioned. However, her resilience and her touching personal story ultimately won over the judges, earning her the highest honor.
The pageant’s final night was a vibrant and lively affair that lasted nearly three hours. The contestants kicked off the event with a catwalk performance set to lively music, creating a colorful and energetic atmosphere. Following this, the MC announced the top 12, top 6, and finally, the top 3. Although the program experienced some interruptions on the livestream, which were filled with advertisement videos, this did not diminish the event’s appeal.
Miss International Queen 2024 began in early August, featuring numerous activities and preliminary rounds. The stage, sound, lighting, and camera angles at the semifinal and final events received widespread praise from the audience for their impressive quality. First held in Thailand in 2004, Miss International Queen has become one of the largest beauty pageants in the world for transgender women, celebrating the beauty and worth of these extraordinary individuals.
