And in case you are not aware, the Miss Universe title is only one of the most major titles a person can hold, in well, the universe!
Miss Universe is an annual international beauty pageant that is run by the United States-based Miss Universe Organization. It is the largest pageant in the world and has been airing in more than 190 countries.
And before being crowned Miss Universe, Rivera was of course crowned Miss Puerto Rico Universe 2006.
In addition to being a beauty pageant, she enjoys a career as an actress. She made her TV debut in Mexico’s Telemundo’s soap opera ‘Dame Chocolate’ in 2007, and then ten years later, she became a fan-favorite in the music video for Luis Fonsi’s smash hit single “Despacito.”
