Miss Spain Athenea Paulinha Pérez was named Miss Congeniality on Saturday during the 2023 Miss Universe competition in Sal Salvador, El Salvador. The model won the honor after the delegates voted for the competitor who inspired her peers with kindness, positivity and enthusiasm. In remarks shared by hosts Zuri Hall and Catriona Gray, Pérez said that “her biggest fear this week was forgetting this was a competition because she was so busy socializing and making friends.” Pérez is being celebrated for more than being a steward of sisterhood. She made history as the first woman of color to hold the title of Miss Spain.

Diversity is here, and diversity is now — it’s today.” Miss Spain Athenea Paulinha Pérez in the Miss Universe 2023 national

He has also taken the stage by storm over the past couple of years, starring in Broadway’s revival of “Spamalot” and now the revival of “Once Upon a Mattress,” which also had a stint at New York City Center in the winter.
