Angela Ponce was the representative for Spain in the Miss Universe that took place on December 16, in which Ponce stood out among many others, not only for its beauty but for the great message it left to the world.
"This is for you, for those who have no visibility, no voice, because we all deserve a world of respect, inclusion, and freedom," Ponce wrote on Instagram on Friday. "And today I am here, proudly representing my nation, all women and human rights."

Although she did not wear the crown, she made history for the first time in the beauty pageant, being the first transgender woman to participate in one of the most important events in the world.
Now, the candidate caused controversy in social networks for her particular dress, which caused thousands of comments on the Internet, where the transparency of the dress managed to affect many.
Ponce wore a dress in silver tones and with some transparencies. The piece was made by Gionni Straccia , one of the most important designers in the world, who has received hundreds of criticisms for dressing the controversial contestant.
"For a long time those were things I always wanted to do," Ponce told Miss Universe organizers. "I put so much focus into it, that in the end, it became a reality."
