Although she did not wear the crown, she made history for the first time in the beauty pageant, being the first transgender woman to participate in one of the most important events in the world. 

Now, the candidate caused controversy in social networks for her particular dress, which caused thousands of comments on the Internet, where the transparency of the dress managed to affect many. 

Ponce wore a dress in silver tones and with some transparencies. The piece was made by Gionni Straccia , one of the most important designers in the world, who has received hundreds of criticisms for dressing the controversial contestant.

"For a long time those were things I always wanted to do," Ponce told Miss Universe organizers. "I put so much focus into it, that in the end, it became a reality."
