History
Chile is one of the few countries that has participated in Miss Universe since 1952, has sent 53 representatives in the pageant's 65-year history and placed 13 times in the Semi-Finals, 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 had the Chilean franchise for Miss Universe since 2004, but did not send a delegate on 2007-2010 period. In 2011, Chile returned to the competition with Vanessa Ceruti, Miss Universo Chile 2011.
Marocchino's organization received many negative critics, due to the less preparation given to the winners. In 2016, Chilevisión has the Miss Universo Chile franchise.
In 2019 Keno Manzur took over the Miss Universe franchise in Chile as CEO. Josmer Errat is mainly being as a National Director.
The current titleholder is Catalina Cáceres, she will represent her country in Miss Universe 2016 on January 30, 2017.

Delegates
- Chile has a total of 11 semifinalists, 1 finalist and 1 winner (Cecilia Bolocco, Miss Universe 1987) in this annual worldwide contest. The last classification of Chile was Gabriela Barros (Semifinalist: 12°), in 2004.[2]
- The first Miss Chile competition was organized by Eva magazine.
- Miss Chile Universe 1961, Gloria Silva, had to be the unexpected translator of Miss France during the transmission of the Miss Universe 1961, because the French delegate couldn't understand a question. Gloria was a Semifinalist that year.[2]
- Sonia Bravo, who was the first runner-up of Miss Chile Universe 1968, is the mother of Miss World Venezuela 2000, Vanessa Cárdenas. She won the title of Miss Objetivo International 1968 in Sao Paulo, Brazil.[3]
- Miss Chile 1970, Soledad Errázuriz, competed in the 1969 Miss World Chile pageant, where she came second.
- The white gown worn by Cecilia Bolocco for her coronation as Miss Universe 1987, was designed by the Chilean couturier Rubén Campos. In the evening gown competition, Bolocco obtained 9.765 points, overcoming other delegates and assuring her victory.[2]
- In 1997, Hetu'u Rapu, the representative of Easter Island, won the Miss Chile competition. However, it turned out that she was too young (by only 17 days) to compete in Miss Universe that year. She was replaced by the 1st runner-up Claudia Delpín. Claudia had to wear the same wardrobe prepared for Hetu'u, including the national costume. In spite of it, she managed to place 13th after the preliminary competition.[2]
- 2002 was the last year in which the national contest was televised, with Nicole Rencoret's coronation, broadcast by Canal 13 (UCTV). From 2004 to date, the national contests haven't been broadcast because the organizations haven't come to agreements with TV channels.[2]
- Renata Ruiz, Miss Universo Chile 2005, won Elite Model Look Chile and placed first runner-up in Elite Model Look International 2001. Former Miss Universe Dayana Mendoza, also participated in this competition.[2]
- María Jesús Matthei, Miss Universo Chile 2013 was the 1st Runner-up (Virreina) of the Reina Hispanoamericana 2011 pageant, held in Santa Cruz, Bolivia on October 27, 2011.
