Caracas, Venezuela – Osmel Sousa, a man whose wisdom in the world of beauty has brought crowns and confidence to many, has embraced yet another challenge for Miss Universe 2024. But this time, it isn’t for Mexico’s representative, María Fernanda Beltrán. Instead, his guidance flows towards a young woman from the small island of Bonaire, Ruby Pouchet, who dreams of stepping onto the world stage with grace and elegance after 25 long years of her nation’s absence.
With his usual flair, the Cuban maestro of beauty shared the news through his Instagram, a space where his words often land like poetry: “Here I am with Ruby, Miss Universe Bonaire. She’s come all the way to Venezuela to ask for a bit of advice.” The warmth in his voice is undeniable, as though he’s already begun shaping her future with his careful, seasoned hands.
Ruby Pouchet, filled with excitement and pride, stands tall with the weight of history on her shoulders. Representing her country at Miss Universe for the first time in over two decades, she exudes hope. “I feel so happy, so proud,” she said, her voice echoing the joy of her homeland. “Bonaire hasn’t had this chance in 25 years, and now, we’re back.”
Osmel’s Expert Touch: “A Little Darker, A Little Brighter”
As he always does, Osmel took one look at her and offered the kind of advice only a master can give. “You’re beautiful, but we need to warm you up a bit—right now, you’re a little yellow,” he said with a playful yet insightful smile, knowing that these small changes can make all the difference in the fiercely competitive world of beauty.
But it wasn’t just her skin tone he aimed to elevate. Osmel worked his magic on Ruby’s hair, too, believing it needed “a touch” to bring out her essence even more. The transformation was subtle, yet stunning, with Ruby now embodying not just the beauty of Bonaire but the refinement that comes from years of experience in pageantry.

In the digital age, where a moment can be shared with the world in seconds, her runway walk made waves online. Comments poured in, filled with admiration not only for her beauty but for the expertise of the man guiding her journey.
One user wrote, “Where Osmel places his hands, beauty follows,” while another marveled, “She’s radiant. Osmel’s touch is magical.” The encouragement came from all corners, each comment celebrating Ruby’s natural beauty, heightened by the wisdom of a legend.
