Miss Universe Brazil 2024 is Luana Cavalcante


Pernambucana Luana Cavalcante was crowned Miss Universe Brazil 2024 in a national competition held on Thursday, September 19 at Teatro Gamaro in São Paulo.

The 25-year-old model and actress from the state of Pernambuco will represent Brazil at the Miss Universe 2024 pageant in Mexico this November.

Gabriele Marinho of Alagoas and Maria Fabiana Mata of Rio de Janeiro were proclaimed the first and second runners-up, respectively.

Eduarda Dallagnol of Rio Grande do Sul, Tatiana Gonçalves of Minas Gerais, Taynara Gargantini of Paraná, and Letícia Galvão of Espírito Santo completed the Top 7 finalists.

The new Miss Universe Brazil was crowned by the reigning Miss Universe from Nicaragua, Sheynnis Palacios, who graced the event as a special guest.

She received her sash from former titleholder and Miss Universe 2020 first runner-up Julia Gama.

"There are no words to describe the emotion I have to be able to say that I am the first Pernambucana and mother to become Miss Universe Brazil," Luana shared online.

"Today, with a solidified career as an actress, model, and mother of the most important person in my life, Pedro, I have just conquered what sometimes seemed almost impossible — make history for my beloved Pernambuco," she added.
