A triumph with a taste for revenge

Masset won the beauty pageant after having participated in it in 2019. «After that I was left wanting more. I am a person who believes in second chances, so after preparing a lot and visualizing myself on this big stage, I decided this year to try again,» she admitted.

And he added: “It was one of the nicest things that happened to me, I feel like you always have to follow what your heart says, and that’s what I did.”.

She was the first Entre Ríos native to win it in the last 70 years. Curiously, the last one had been Isabel “Coca” Sarliwho won for Buenos Aires in 1955.

Before the definition, Masset stated: «As a singer I learned that there is no small stage to project oneself and reach the hearts of others. As a Miss I learned that what shines is not the crown, but the actions that support it. As a woman I understood that the most powerful thing is a woman determined to make history with her own story.»

Masset hopes that his story can “inspire other people”since he considers that he had “achievements but also vulnerabilities.” “I want to raise my voice and make it known that true beauty begins when we embrace our history and transform it into strength.”

The condition he overcame

A few days before the ceremony, the model exposed a hobby that suffers in your hair. In an Instagram video, the young woman said that she suffers alopecia.

“Let’s turn insecurities into strength so as not to forget what makes us united,” he wrote.

Alopecia is the loss of hair in areas where it should be present, which can manifest as partial or total baldness. This condition can be temporary or permanent, localized or generalized, and can affect people of any sex and age.

In the defense he recorded to respond to those who asked about his missing hair, Masset states: “I have alopecia, I was born with this condition, my hair does not grow in this area and it will never grow.”.

“For a long time it was a great insecurity for me, that’s why I have never made it public, but today it is something that makes me feel like a strong person, because I can also show them that we all have imperfections and today it is something that gives me a lot of security,” he continues.

The woman from Entre Ríos says that, instead of covering that part of her scalp, she prefers to show herself as she is: “It was very difficult for me to accept itIt took me a lot to make it known and today I am in Miss Universe, which is such an important, big platform and to be able to show that, as I said, we all have insecurities and it is the most normal thing in the world, because there is no perfection, we are not perfect, we have our flaws and that’s okay.
