Miss Grand Mexico is a national title bestowed upon a woman chosen to represent Mexico at the international pageant, headquartered in Bangkok, Thailand. The title was first mentioned in 2013 when Jesús Rábago, the director of a Mexican national pageant, Rostro de México, appointed his 2012 contest winner, Laura Alvarez, to represent the country in the inaugural edition of the parent international contest, Miss Grand International 2013, in Thailand. The license was transferred to Miss Mexico Organization in 2017, and then to Flavio Falsiroli in 2022. Since December 2023, the new franchise holder is former Miss Universe 1991, Mexico’s own Lupita Jones, who will crown next year’s official candidate during her national pageant of Mexicana Universal, sometime in 2024.
Mexico has always sent its representatives to join the Miss Grand International pageant and the highest achievement at the international pageant has been the first runner-up position, in 2019 María Malo. In addition, the country has also won the Best Evening Gown award on two occasions, in the 2020 and 2022 editions.
The current Miss Grand Mexico is María Fernanda Beltrán from Sinaloa, who was unplaced at Miss Grand International 2023.
History
Since the establishment of Miss Grand International in 2013, Mexico has always sent its representatives to compete at such every year. In the first four years, the country representatives were either handpicked or determined through a national pageant organized by Jesús Rábago, Rostro de México. In 2017, Hugo Castellanos took over the franchise and the representatives were instead elected through another national pageant, Miss Mexico, until Castellanos lost the franchise to Flavio Falsiroli in 2022.
Under the direction of Flavio Falsiroli, his first affiliated titleholder, Jessica Farjat, was appointed. The following representatives were expected to be elected through a national contest directed by Orlando Ruiz, Concurso Nacional de Belleza de México (CNB México). However, some internal conflicts caused Orlando Ruiz to vacate the team and Farjat also resigned from the title. Falsiroli then held an ad hoc audition to select a new representative; more than 20 applications were received, and a 19-year-old girl from Hermosillo, Laysha Salazar, was elected the winner. Falsiroli organized the inaugural edition of the Miss Grand Mexico pageant in August 2023. However, Falsiroli relinquished the franchise the following year.
As of December 2023, the current national franchise holder is former Miss Universe 1991, Lupita Jones, who will select the official candidate for the 2024 pageant during the Mexicana Universal national pageant.
