In 2005, Chile sent a supermodel and statusque Renata Ruiz, highly favoured by Pageant Websites & Experts but failed to make it to the Top 15 in Bangkok.
Chile once won Miss Universe in 1987 with Cecilia Carolina Bolocco Fonck held in Singapore, Singapore. Apart from this, Chile has been one of the consistent countries to place in the 1980s. Chile was semifinalist in 1985 (8th Place - Claudia van Sint Jan del Pedregal), 1986 (9th Place - Mariana Villasante Aravena), 1989 (10th Place - Macarena Mina) & 1990 (5th Place - Urania Haltenhoff). The last time they placed was in 2004 with Gabriela Barros.
Chile also placed in 1978 with the ever-stunning Marianne Müller Prieto despite heavily favoured by the Mexican Press, only ended up 7th Place overall. Chile, likewise placed in 1954, 1958, 1961, 1968, 1969 and 1976.
