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

1991: Miss Mexico, Lupita Jones

​In November 2023, Lupita Jones stepped down as the national director of Mexicana Universal, the organization she founded in 1994 to select Mexico’s representatives for Miss Universe. Her departure followed differences with the new Miss Universe administration, particularly regarding contestant selection criteria and the organization’s direction. ​

Lupita became the first Mexican to win Miss Universe, achieving a perfect score in every competition segment in 1991. She leveraged her fame to establish Promocertamen and Nuestra Belleza México, which produced multiple international titleholders, including Ximena Navarrete, who won Miss Universe in 2010. ​Despite stepping down, she continues to influence Mexico’s beauty industry and pageant world.​
