María Vargas, representing Jalisco, is the new Miss Mexico. She was elected this weekend, after beating 31 contestants from across the country and earning the right to represent Mexico at Miss Universe 2026 in Puerto Rico.
The 28-year-old received the sash and crown from Fátima Bosch, Miss Universe 2025 and the outgoing titleholder, during the grand finale held at Rancho Tierra Sagrada by Cabo Adventures in Cabo San Lucas. With her victory, Vargas adds another crown to Jalisco's pageant history and opens a new chapter for the state in the national competition.
