The 5’8” model who gained popularity in Brazil as a teen will be a contestant to watch out for! She not only brings her stunning physique to the stage, but also supports a noble cause. Monalysa Alcântara’s nationality is Brazilian, and she will proudly represent her country at the Miss Universe 2017 pageant. Here is everything you need to know from Monalysa Alcântara’s wiki.
A Pleasing Persona
Born on January 24, 1999, Alcântara is just 18, and from a city called Teresina in Piaui. The reigning Miss Brazil is a model who worked with many designers and walked in some local fashion shows.
Just like the painting that shares her name, she always has a warm smile on her face, and loves to interact with people who inspire her. If she wins the Miss Universe crown, Alcântara wants to dedicate her time to women empowerment, as well as race, and gender equality. The young woman is currently studying business administration.
Crowns Galore!
Alcântara was passionate about everything beauty since she was little, and dreamed of becoming a beacon of strength for women across her country.
By wanting to making it big, Alcântara began participating in pageants. Her first was a Miss Teen Piaui, which she won by showing grace, poise, and strength.
Alcântara was crowned Miss Piaui in 2017, and the special event was made even more glorious by crafting a crown with ancestral symbols and meanings. The silver crown presented to Alcântara was a reminder of her history and representation of the state and country.
“How can I not be proud of a crown that bears the history of my state and humanity merged in silver, as our ancestors did thousands of years ago in the stones of Serra da Capivara.” Alcântara wrote in a social media post.
She added, “I say to you, it is impossible not to recognize me in this crown that carries the riches and glories of humanity and the Brazilian people, I am proud of the history of Piauí and I love my crown, which is extremely original.”
Alcântara then went on to win Miss Brazil 2017, and became the first woman from the state of Piaui to represent Brazil on such a big platform. The humbled woman thanked her country and people for believing in her, and wants to give back to society as much as she can.
She’s Sexy and She Knows It!
The gifted woman doesn’t shy away from showing off her stuff! Alcântara’s Instagram account is followed by 204k people, and every one of them is rooting for her to take the Miss Universe crown home this year.
