“Nuestra Belleza Latina – VIP” celebrates 10th Season

To celebrate a decade of talent, beauty and behind-the-scenes drama, Univision Network’s “Nuestra Belleza Latina” (Our Latin Beauty) dials it all up a notch with its first ever VIP edition.

The VIP edition of the top-rated TV beauty contest will bring new challenges, more excitement, and a new concept. Selected from 99 finalists from previous seasons, 12 have another chance to walk down the catwalk, capture the audience’s heart and be able to go through the competition to go home with the crown and make their dream of becoming a TV star come true. Starting with the show’s premiere on Sunday, February 28th at 8 p.m. ET/PT (7 p.m. Central), viewers will get to decide who will return in the following episodes of the glamorous competition.

Beginning on Sunday, February 7th through Tuesday, February 23rd, “Nuestra Belleza Latina” will reveal via its Facebook, Twitter and Instagram accounts who will get another chance at becoming queen.      

NBL VIP will be the contest’s most interactive season yet. Participants will have access to their social networks and will stay in touch with fans.

Over the past nine seasons full of touching stories, controversies and emotional episodes since NBL’s inception, 108 women have taken part in the competition. As part of the 10th anniversary, the show will showcase its “beauty with a purpose” aspect by letting viewers see the many ways in which the crown has changed the lives of some past queens and other contestants, and how it served as a platform to launch their careers and grow as enterprising women.

Among the past queens featured prominently in the 10th season of NBL will be Francisca Lachapel, who, after charming audiences with her popular character Mela Lamelaza and earning the top spot last year, went on to become co-host of “Despierta América” (Wake Up America”), Univision Network’s top-rated morning program. In addition to handing her crown over to this year’s winner, Lachapel will act as NBL’s social media reporter throughout the season.

Returning to host this season will be Univision personality, actress and model Chiquinquirá Delgado, and TV and radio host Javier Poza.
