Sofía Montserrat Aragón Torres (born 13 February 1994) is a Mexican TV Host, model, author and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Mexicana Universal 2019. She represented Mexico at the Miss Universe 2019 competition, where she placed as the second runner-up, the highest placement for Mexico at Miss Universe since 2010.
Early life
Aragón was born on 13 February 1994 in Guadalajara, Jalisco.[1][2] Aragón later lived in the city of Zapopan, located within the Guadalajara metropolitan area.
In the past, Aragón struggled with depression and had contemplated suicide.[3] She has since become an advocate for mental health awareness and suicide prevention, working with the organization Sonrisas Reales as a public speaker and writer.[4] She began writing professionally at age 14, later releasing the books Diamante en Bruto (2017) and El color de lo Invisible (2019), which focus on women's empowerment.[citation needed]
Pageantry
Aragón entered pageantry after competing to become the representative from Jalisco at the Miss Mexico Organization pageant in 2017. Lezly Díaz gained the crown and Sofía was placed second runner up.
A year later she competed for the title of Mexicana Universal Jalisco, aiming to represent her state at Mexicana Universal 2019. She was ultimately not selected and Dorothy Sutherland became the representative instead. After Sutherland came in breach of her contract for not appearing at required events, she was dethroned and Aragón was selected to take her place as Mexicana Universal Jalisco 2018.[5][4]
Days after her appointment, Aragón competed in the Mexicana Universal 2019 competition in Mexico City. She was selected as one of the top twenty finalists following the first round on 16 June, and entered the top ten prior to the final held on 23 June.[3] During the 23 June airing, Aragón was crowned Mexicana Universal by outgoing titleholder Andrea Toscano, besting first runner-up Claudia Lozano Domínguez of Nuevo León. She represented Mexico at Miss Universe 2019, where she placed as the second runner-up, the highest placement for Mexico since Ximena Navarrete, who won Miss Universe 2010.[6][7]
