Solaris Barba received the Miss Universe Panama crown on Friday, September 2,  four months after receiving the title.

The 23-year-old model and television presenter was crowned by the president of the Miss Universe Panama organization, Ricardo Canto, at a gala at the Vasco Núñez de Balboa. She paraded in a  strapless pink dress that fitted her body, designed by Carlos Joel Morales from Tableño and made by Amparo Caicedo.
