She stood out even as a child: what Sheynnis Palacios looked like before winning the Miss Universe contest. Photo.

Sheynnis Palacios , a representative of Nicaragua, became the new owner of the Miss Universe title. The 23-year-old model and TV presenter captivated the jury and the audience with her both external and internal beauty. It is known that the girl became the first Nicaraguan woman to win a large-scale competition. However, this is not the first victory for Sheynnis herself.

Since childhood, the little beauty has been distinguished by her bright appearance and charisma. She was engaged in dancing, volleyball, and later discovered modeling. OBOZ.UA has collected archive photos of Palacios to see what she looked like before she won Miss Universe 2023.

Sheynnis was born on May 30, 2000 in Managua, Nicaragua. She was the first child in the family, followed by her younger brother Alex. Little is known about the family of Miss Universe 2023. However, judging by the girl's posts on social media, we can conclude that she is very close to her mother, respects her, and calls her a personal example.

As we've already mentioned, Sheynnis has been involved in choreography since childhood. Judging by the photo, it was oriental dancing, in particular.

"It's impossible to describe what makes me dance, I can only say that I love it and will never stop doing it. You don't have to be a perfect dancer to enjoy dancing," Sheynnis wrote in one of her posts.

The girl was restless but obedient. She was not yet three years old, and everyone around her was already admiring her beauty.

Palacios likes to share her archival photos and recall her childhood. In particular, she said that on every birthday, her mother would throw real parties for her, and she would come to congratulate her at five in the morning, because that was the time her daughter was born.

In her teenage years, Sheynnis had model parameters. She had long legs, a slender figure, and bright features. That's why she started trying out for various contests.

Palacios won her first important crown when she was a 16-year-old teenager. She won the title of Young Miss Nicaragua. Subsequently, the beauty represented her country on the international stage and entered the top 10.

Around the age of 18, Sheynnis started wearing braces and glasses. However, even with them, the beauty remained spectacular and confident. She always smiles sincerely in all her photos.

After graduating from high school, Palacios entered the University of Central America, majoring in mass communication.

While studying at the university, she was very active in sports, especially volleyball. She even participated in competitions as part of the university team.

The girl received her university degree in May 2022. It is worth noting that at the university she met her boyfriend, a guy named Hanni Javier Falcon. During the Miss Universe 2023 pageant and after it ended, he supported his beloved.

In 2019, Sheynnis also joined a popular challenge called 10yearschallenge, the essence of which was to show two photos of herself 10 years apart.

It is also known that in 2020, Palacios won another crown at Miss World Nicaragua 2020. The international pageant was canceled due to COVID-19, but the girl was still able to compete for the victory the following year. She entered the top 40 at Miss World 2021.

As a reminder, Ukraine was represented by Angelina Usanova. She is a Kyiv-based singer, model and volunteer. As you know, the contest was not without scandals. At the welcome party in El Salvador, Angelina sat at the same table as a Russian woman. Apparently, the organizers of the contest again tried to create the illusion of "friendship" between the participants from the warring countries.

Earlier, OBOZ.UA also wrote that the audience was impressed by the representative of Nepal, Jane Garrett, who became the first plus-size participant in the history of the competition. The girl managed not only to get into the top 20, but also to win a considerable army of fans.
