Meet Andrea Tovar, Miss Colombia for Miss Universe 2016

She will represent Colombia at Miss Universe 2016. Andrea Tovar is already considered as one of the favorite for the international Pageant. She is the second Miss Colombia coming from the predominantly black Choco. The first time Choco won was in 2001, making then-winner Vanessa Mendoza the first ever black Miss Colombia.

Andrea definitely has big shoes to fill after Ariadna Gutierrez's fabulous performance at Miss Universe 2015. Remember, Gutiérrez received international attention due to Miss Universe host Steve Harvey announcing her as the winner by mistake.
