Lupita Jones Biography – Lupita Jones Wiki
Lupita Jones is a Mexican actress, television producer, and beauty queen crowned as Miss Universe 1991. She was the first Mexican contestant to win the crown. Since 1994, Jones has been the national director for Mexico under the franchise of Mexicana Universal. To date, she has produced two Miss Universe titleholders, Ximena Navarrete (2010) and Andrea Meza (2021). She attained her business administration degree before becoming Miss Universe and also did postgraduate studies in industrial administration at the Centro de Enseñanza Técnica y Superior in her native city of Mexicali, Baja California.
In September 1990, she won the title of Senorita México representing the state of Baja California. On May 17, 1991, she contested against 72 contestants for the title of Miss Universe 1991 at Las Vegas, Nevada representing Mexico. She advanced to the semifinals of the event as first place. She was the only contestant with an average score above 9. During the final stage, Jones won every single round of competition: swimsuit, interview, and evening gown. She dominated the next two rounds of competition (the Top 6 judges’ questions and the Top 3 final question) and won the crown, the prizes, and the Miss Universe title for her country.
After ending her reign in 1992, she started the company Promocertamen in 1994 with Televisa to produce Nuestra Belleza Mexico, Mexico’s official pageant responsible to choose Mexico’s delegates for Miss Universe, Miss World, and Miss International. This new pageant was created when Senorita Mexico was moved to another TV network, TV Azteca. In 1997, she attempted to launch the first male-only beauty contest, El Modelo Mexico, but the show got little attention from the public. In 2001, for the Nuestra Belleza Mexico show, Lupita Jones launched the report her campaign which invited the public to report beautiful women in their state. Critics attacked the campaign on discrimination charges. She produced a winner at one of the 3 most well-known beauty pageants on the planet since 1960: Priscila Perales, Miss International 2007, and another one in 2009 with Anagabriela Espinoza, Miss International 2009. In 2010, a Mexican woman was crowned as Miss Universe 2010, Ximena Navarrete. Accordingly, Jones promised she would vacate the direction of Nuestra Belleza Mexico once a new Mexican Miss Universe would be entitled, but did not follow through after Navarrete won the title.
From 2008 to 2014, with the longtime pageant, director-rival Osmel Sousa were brought together to judge Nuestra Belleza Latina, a beauty pageant-related reality television series created by the US Hispanic network Univision, which searches for young women of Latin American descent across the United States. In 2015, in response to negative comments on Mexicans by Donald Trump, part-owner of the Miss Universe organization, as head of Nuestra Belleza Mexico, she endorsed the withdrawal of the 2015 contestant from Mexico and urged a boycott of products associated with the 2015 pageant. In 1999, she made up her mind that the contest would support an important program for ill-treated girls in the country through the Integral Family Development project. In 2000, she accepted an appointment as UNFPA Goodwill Ambassador and Face to Face Campaign Spokesperson for Mexico.
