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.
Luciano Marocchino had the Chilean franchise for Miss Universe since 2004, but due to financial questions chose to not send a delegate during the 2007-2010 period. In 2011, Chile returned to the competition with Vanessa Ceruti, Miss Universo Chile 2011.
Marocchino's organization received much criticism, due to the less preparation given to the winners. He gave up the contest in 2015.
The national broadcaster, Chilevisión held the contest from 2016 up to 2018.
In 2019 Keno Manzur took over the Miss Universe franchise in Chile as National Director.
The current Miss Universo Chile is Celeste Viel of Santiago who was crowned on 13 August 2023. She represented her country at Miss Universe 2023 in El Salvador on 18 November 2023 where she placed among the Top 20.
