**Miss Universe Chile** (abbreviated as **MUCH**; [Spanish](/source/Spanish_language): *Miss Universo Chile*) is an annual national [beauty pageant](/source/Beauty_pageant) that selects Chile's official representative to [Miss Universe](/source/Miss_Universe)—one of the [Big Four beauty pageants](/source/Big_Four_beauty_pageants).

The current Miss Universo Chile is [Inna Moll](https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Inna_Moll&action=edit&redlink=1) of [Vitacura](/source/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](/source/Canal_13_(Chilean_TV_network)) jointly selected Miss Chile for Miss Universe and Miss World. Subsequently, a partnership between [*Caras*](/source/Caras_(magazine)) magazine and [*Megavisión*](/source/Mega_(Chilean_TV_network)) maintained the franchise in 1996 and 1997. [Canal 13](/source/Canal_13_(Chilean_TV_network)) 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](/source/Miss_Universe_2011) 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](/source/Chilevisi%C3%B3n) 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](/source/Cecilia_Bolocco) in [1987](/source/Miss_Universe_1987).
