María Fernanda Aristizábal Urrea (born 19 June 1997) is a Colombian model and beauty pageant titleholder and model who was crowned Miss Colombia 2019. Aristizábal is the first delegate from Quindío Department to ever be crowned Miss Colombia.
Early life[]
Aristizábal was born in Armenia, Quindío.[1] Her mother is Bertha Lucía Urrea Posso.[2] She is of Spanish-French Basque descent. She finished her studies of social communication at the Luis Amigó Catholic University of Medellin in July 2021.[3]
Pageantry[]
Aristizábal began her pageantry career in 2019, after being crowned Miss Quindío 2019.[4] This title gave her entry into the Miss Colombia 2019 competition, representing Quindío Department.[5] The competition began in November 2019, held in Cartagena.[6] In pre-pageant activities, Aristizábal emerged as a frontrunner after winning a number of special awards, including Queen of the Police and Best Body.[6][7][8]
Finals night was ultimately held on 11 November.[6] Aristizábal made the first cut into the top ten, and then continued into the top five. She was ultimately crowned Miss Colombia 2019 by outgoing titleholder Gabriela Tafur, becoming the first woman from Quindío Department to win the title, besting first runner-up María Alejandra Salazar of Huila Department.[9][10] As Miss Colombia, she was to represent Colombia at Miss Universe 2020.[5][11][12] In June 2020, Natalie Ackermann gained ownership of the Colombian franchise to Miss Universe, confirming that a new pageant would be held to select the Colombian representative in 2020, and that Aristizábal would not be going to Miss Universe.[13]
