Miss Universe Chile (abbreviated as MUCH; Spanish: Miss Universo Chile) is an annual national beauty pageant that selects Chile's official representative to Miss Universe—one of the Big Four beauty pageants.
The current Miss Universo Chile is Inna Moll of Vitacura, who was crowned in August 2025.[1]
History
Between 1969 and 1995, Paula magazine was responsible for organizing the contest and maintaining the franchise;[2] during this period, TVN broadcast the competition beginning in 1976. Between 1991 and 1994, Paula magazine and Canal 13 jointly selected Miss Chile for Miss Universe and Miss World. Subsequently, a partnership between Caras magazine and Megavisión maintained the franchise in 1996 and 1997. Canal 13 broadcast the pageant uninterruptedly from 1998 to 2002.
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. Marocchino's organization received much criticism, for not ensuring adequate preparation to the winners. He gave up the contest in 2015.
The national broadcaster, Chilevisión held the contest from 2016 up to 2018.[2]
In 2019, Keno Manzur took over the Miss Universe franchise in Chile as National Director.
Chile placed 14 times in the semi-finals, with one Miss Universe winner Cecilia Bolocco in 1987.
