Find Out Who Took the Miss Universe Crown the Year You Were Born

1986: Miss Venezuela, Bárbara Palacios

In 1986, Bárbara Palacios became the third Venezuelan to win Miss Universe. She brought more than just looks to the stage—she had presence, poise, and a serious drive for success. Long before the crown, she was already working as a TV host, and after her win, she kept that momentum going with a thriving career in Latin American media.

But Barbara didn’t stick to one lane because she launched her line of beauty and wellness products, spoke at international conferences, and became a leading voice for women’s empowerment. By 2013, she had published multiple bestselling self-help books rooted in faith and personal transformation.
