María Vargas spoke exclusively with La Opinión about her path to Miss Universe 2027 and detailed her process of physical and mental preparation to represent Mexico at the 75th edition of the competition.
Work and effort will take you to where you deserve to be.”
This new edition will take place on November 24, 2026 at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico, where Vargas will seek to win over candidates from all over the world. And keep in the power of your country this longing crown that now rests on the head of Fatima Bosch.
In her reflective plathy she recalls how at some point they wanted to make her feel that it wasn’t enough. “It’s a fortune that I carry with responsibility,” Vargas says when he is aware that his life and his processes are in the eye of everyone.
He admits that on his way he came to believe that his humble origins could be an impediment to reaching his goals. But the work done so far has made her understand that “there are no small dreams” and that, even if the environment is adverse, the important thing is to touch the doors every time they are necessary.
Mary is also honest in her personal goals; she acknowledges that she obviously hopes to continue working and that people will have the opportunity to get to know her through what she has written so far in books like “The Queen of Problems,” which is on sale on platforms like Amazon.
The new representative of Miss Mexico also says that at this time she is looking to continue to grow, develop her image and continue on this path of being able to work with international brands. He wants to stay firm in understanding that “work and effort will take you to where you deserve to be.”
The work of a woman representing her country at the Miss Universe, sometimes, can be seen as a role built to follow, to imitate, to have as a model. However, Mary is committed to asking them not to see her or take her that way. “You can simply be a referent,” says Maria. “I can be a person you can support,” she said in the interview.
For this entrepreneur, model and writer, it is important that people understand that from their life and their way the best they can do is to take the experiences that best suit the needs of those who decide to see it as a reference. So that all that is not useful to them, simply reject it. You see it as a healthier process. And it is that today the famous “role models” are often used arbitrarily, generating an unnecessary weight on public figures.
On the vision that haters want to impose on beauty competition, Maria has a powerful reflection: “This event is an echo of what each person is. I am living it as a wonderful opportunity to develop, to make myself known. To send a message to people who think they can’t.”
