Miss Universo Chile is a national Beauty pageant that selects Chile's representative to the Miss Universe pageant.

History

Chile is one of the few countries that has participated in Miss Universe since 1952, has sent 47 representatives in the pageant's 60-year history and placed 13 times in the semifinals, with one Miss Universe crown: Cecilia Bolocco, in 1987.

Integral beauty, intelligence, and poise are taken into consideration to select Chile's titleholder from a group of delegates who represent the city they come from. It is said that the winner is the most beautiful woman of Chile, which gives her the right to represent her country for one year and participate in the Miss Universe international competition.

Luciano Marocchino has had the Chilean franchise for Miss Universe since 2004, but did not send a delegate since 2007. In 2011, Chile returned to the Miss Universe 2011 with Vanessa Ceruti, Miss Universo Chile 2011. The current titleholder is María Belén Jerez, she represented her country in Miss Universe 2015 on December 19, 2015.

Marocchino's organization have received many negative critics, saying that he chooses the titleholder just a few months before the Miss Universe pageant. Joining this critics, also that he chooses the Chilean representative but after that he left her alone, without advice.
