Suil Anyelina Pagán, the new Miss World Puerto Rico 2026, has always dreamed of representing her country internationally, following in the footsteps of her mother, Windy Pagán, a model, and her father, former baseball player Ángel Pagán. Although she spent most of her early years in the United States, Suil Anyelina has strong Puerto Rican roots, according to her mother.
Windy Pagán, who also participated in the Miss World Puerto Rico pageant decades ago and represented Dorado, expressed her pride in her daughter, saying she is determined and has not let her university studies suffer. Suil Anyelina is studying Fashion Marketing and Management at the Savannah College of Art and Design.
The family has been supportive throughout her preparation, and Windy plans to rent a large house in Vietnam, where the Miss World pageant will be held, so that their loved ones can attend and have a place to stay. Suil Anyelina's mother will be there to support her when she represents Puerto Rico in the 75th edition of the Miss World pageant.
