Cuba’s Triumphant Return to the Big Four Pageants Shines Bright at Miss Earth
After years of silence on the global beauty stage, Cuba has made a remarkable return to the Big Four international beauty pageants, led by a renewed presence in the Miss Earth competition. From its debut in 2007 with Ariana Barouk to its powerful resurgence in 2018, Cuba has evolved into one of the top-performing nations at Miss Earth—one of the world’s most prestigious pageants.
Under the revitalized leadership of Nuestra Belleza Nacional Cuba, directed by Fatima Coello, the country has seen consistent progress, historic placements, and outstanding performances in pre-pageant competitions. In 2022, Sheyla Ravelo Pérez broke barriers by finishing in the Top 12 at Miss Earth, marking Cuba’s first placement in a Big Four pageant in the 21st century. The momentum continued in 2024, when Stephany Diaz Peña placed in the Top 20, reaffirming Cuba’s return to global pageant prominence.
Beyond final placements, Cuba has dominated the Miss Earth medal tally in recent years, excelling in categories such as Environmental Advocacy, Talent, Evening Gown, Fitness, and Media Engagement. This consistent success underscores the nation’s deep commitment to environmental values, elegant presentation, and well-rounded preparation.
Thanks to the strategic efforts of Fatima Coello and the dedication of the national pageant organization, Cuba is now considered a rising powerhouse in Miss Earth, drawing admiration from pageant fans around the world and sparking pride among the Cuban diaspora.
