Meet Miss Teen World 2021
Luna Isabella Velandia Cadena, a 16-year-old Colombian model, has been crowned Miss Teen World 2021 at the glittering pageant held in Guayaquil, Ecuador, known as the Pearl of the Pacific, on October 3, 2021.
The world finale attracted representatives from different countries across the globe to compete for the prestigious title. The contestants were judged not only on their runway presence — they were judged on communication skills. The new ‘Miss Teen World’, who impressed the judges and the audience with her speech, is in 11th grade at the “La Enseñanza” school and seeks through her beauty and intelligence to transmit to all a message of hope.
Rebeca Ruiz of Paraguay was named first runner-up while Megan Leigh van der Walt of South Africa, Niurka Piza of Ecuador and Naomi Cano Lazcano of Mexico were the second, third, and fourth runners-up, respectively.
Luna was crowned by Miss Teen World 2020 Tyana Maldonado from the Dominican Republic.
