Pageantry
[edit | edit source]Miss Universe El Salvador 2017
[edit | edit source]Abarca was crowned Miss Universe El Salvador 2017 on July 7, 2017, and competed at Miss Universe 2017 but did not place.[citation needed] She was the subject of some controversy in El Salvador for having some plastic surgery after her national win and before the Miss Universe pageant.[1][2]
Miss Universe 2017
[edit | edit source]As Miss Universe El Salvador, she competed at the Miss Universe 2017 pageant.[3] She gave all her press junket interviews in English, which has not been common for prior representatives from the country.[4]
Personal
[edit | edit source]Abarca was the valedictorian of her class in high school and speaks English fluently.[5][6] Abarca is seeking a bachelor's degree in English and hopes to become an English teacher.[5] Abarca was still a university student when she was crowned Miss Universe El Salvador in 2017.[7]
She received both criticism and support for using cosmetic surgery, including breast enhancement,[8] to improve her appearance in preparation for the Miss Universe pageant.[9][10] Abarca says she is not ashamed.[11][12]
During the Miss Universe pageant, Abarca dressed in an elaborate costume as "Goddess of the River Lempa."[13][14] However, during her performance she tripped several times over the fake boat from her costume and couldn't finish the catwalk.[13][15][16] Although it likely contributed to her loss, she received an outpouring of support from her fans.[13]
Abarca enjoys soccer, softball, singing and belly dancing. She volunteers at a local orphanage and at her church.[2][5] She is 1.65 meters (5'4") tall, and has been criticized as being too short for pageantry.[17][18]
