Miss Universe
Preliminary rounds
Matos wore a dress modeled after boxing gear during the traditional costume competition; the piece included a hooded robe, gloves and a championship belt bearing the Coat of arms of Puerto Rico.[4] The outfit was known to the island's boxing tradition, which has produced more champions per capita than any other location in the world.
Controversies
There were rumors after when Mayra competed in Miss Universe 2009 that the results were backwards and that would mean Matos would be Miss Universe. In several interviews Mayra stated if this was true she wouldn't accept the crown and that she would let Stefania Fernandez enjoy her title. She continues to be active in the fashion industry after having launched her "Secret" campaign. [5]
