'''Magali Febles''' (born 24 December 1964 in [Santo Domingo](/source/Santo_Domingo)) is a [Dominican](/source/People_of_the_Dominican_Republic) [beautician](/source/beautician)[{{cite book|editor-last=Negrón-Muntaner|editor-first=Frances|title=None of the above Puerto Ricans in the global era|year=2006|publisher=Palgrave Macmillan|location=New York|isbn=978-1-4039-6246-1|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=68Vd6RrXLOYC&dq=%22Magali+Febles%22&pg=PA113|edition=1. ed., 1. publ.|accessdate=20 January 2011|page=113}}] and [beauty pageant](/source/beauty_pageant) circuit personality.
Febles is the national director for the [Miss Dominican Republic Universe](/source/Miss_Dominican_Republic_Universe) franchise and has previously served as national director for [Miss Universe Puerto Rico](/source/Miss_Universe_Puerto_Rico) and [Miss Haiti](/source/Miss_Haiti) franchises.
==Pageantry==
===Miss Dominican Republic and Miss Puerto Rico===
Febles acquired the [Miss Puerto Rico Universe](/source/Miss_Puerto_Rico) in 2003 and [Miss Dominican Republic Universe](/source/Miss_Dominican_Republic) in 2004. As holder of the franchises, she was responsible for preparing and sending delegates from [Puerto Rico](/source/Puerto_Rico) and the [Dominican Republic](/source/Dominican_Republic) to [Miss Universe](/source/Miss_Universe). Her most successful delegate to date is [Zuleyka Rivera](/source/Zuleyka_Rivera) from Puerto Rico, who was crowned [Miss Universe 2006](/source/Miss_Universe_2006). She was the former owner of two salons, ''Magali Febles Salon and Spa'' in [San Juan, Puerto Rico](/source/San_Juan%2C_Puerto_Rico), which she later sold in order to concentrate her energy on running both franchises.[{{Cite web |title=Magali Febles asegura que perdió su apartamento con una candida |url=https://www.diariolibre.com/amp/revista/cultura/2025/09/14/magali-febles-asegura-que-perdio-su-apartamento-con-una-candida/3244415 |access-date=2026-05-10 |website=www.diariolibre.com}}][{{Cite web |title=Magali Febles retiene Miss Universo RD |url=https://www.diariolibre.com/amp/revista/magali-febles-retiene-miss-universo-rd-CBDL187630 |access-date=2026-05-10 |website=www.diariolibre.com}}]
In 2009, shortly after [Mayra Matos](/source/Mayra_Matos) was crowned [Miss Puerto Rico Universe 2009](/source/Miss_Puerto_Rico_Universe_2009), Febles lost the [Miss Puerto Rico Universe](/source/Miss_Puerto_Rico) franchise to [Luisito Vigoreaux](/source/Luisito_Vigoreaux) and [Desiree Lowry](/source/Desiree_Lowry), who took over the training of Matos and renamed the pageant [Miss Universe Puerto Rico](/source/Miss_Puerto_Rico). Febles' alleged treatment of [Ingrid Rivera](/source/Ingrid_Marie_Rivera), [Miss Puerto Rico Universe 2008](/source/Miss_Puerto_Rico_Universe_2008), and problems with the organization are allegedly reasons for her losing the franchise.[{{cite web |url=http://archivo.laprensa.hn/Ediciones/2009/02/03/Noticias/Febles-pierde-franquicia-de-Miss-Puerto-Rico-Universe |title=Febles pierde franquicia de Miss Puerto Rico Universe |accessdate=2013-12-04 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20131219064642/http://archivo.laprensa.hn/Ediciones/2009/02/03/Noticias/Febles-pierde-franquicia-de-Miss-Puerto-Rico-Universe |archivedate=2013-12-19 }}][{{Cite web |last=Brugueras |first=Por Melba |date=2016-06-16 |title=Magali Febles: “Nadie sabe lo que tiene hasta que lo pierde” |url=https://www.primerahora.com/entretenimiento/reinas-belleza/notas/magali-febles-nadie-sabe-lo-que-tiene-hasta-que-lo-pierde/ |access-date=2026-05-10 |website=Primera Hora |language=es}}]
===Miss Haiti===
In 2010, she began managing the [Miss Haiti Universe](/source/Miss_Haiti_Universe) franchise. A delegate from [Haiti](/source/Haiti) had not placed in Miss Universe from 1975, when [Gerthie David](/source/Gerthie_David) finished as 1st Runner-Up in the contest and the second black woman to be placed in the finals, until 2016, a year after Febles lost the franchise rights, when [Raquel Pélissier](/source/Raquel_P%C3%A9lissier) finished as 1st Runner-Up as well.[{{cite web |url=http://www.salvicharm.com/2010/02/recordar-es-vivir-gerthie-david.html |title=Recordar es Vivir - Gerthie David | Salvadorean Charm Almanac |accessdate=2014-12-29 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20141229082432/http://www.salvicharm.com/2010/02/recordar-es-vivir-gerthie-david.html |archivedate=2014-12-29 }}]
In 2016, the license of Miss Haiti Universe was awarded to Chris Puesan from the Dominican Republic, a pageant coach and license holder.
