A accomplished professional, Matiauda is an economist, international model, and entrepreneur. She is no stranger to the world of pageantry, having previously placed as fourth runner-up at Miss United Continents 2022 in Ecuador and competed in Miss Earth 2023 in Vietnam. Her diverse experience on both national and international stages positions her as a strong and capable candidate for the Miss Universe crown.

 

In a heartfelt social media post following her appointment, Matiauda shared her vision and commitment to her new role. "Today I begin writing a new story, a new chapter where dreams cease to be promises, and become responsibilities," she wrote. She further emphasized the gravity of the title, stating, "Being Miss Universe Paraguay is not just about wearing a crown; it's about carrying the voice of a country, the soul of its people, and the strength of every woman who never stopped believing."

 

As the newly appointed titleholder, Matiauda will now begin her preparations for the 75th Miss Universe pageant, which is scheduled to be held in San Juan, Puerto Rico, later this year. Her appointment has generated significant excitement, and she carries the hopes of Paraguay as she embarks on this prestigious international journey.
