Lina Luaces: Rising Star Set to Represent Cuba in Miss Universe 2025

Friday, July 11, 2025 by Christopher Ramirez

Lina Luaces has recently made headlines by being crowned Miss Universe Cuba 2025, sparking interest not only due to her striking height but also her youthful charm. At only 22 years old, the daughter of Lili Estefan is emerging as a standout contender for the international Miss Universe pageant, slated to take place in Thailand this November.

How tall is Lina? For those curious about her height, she is indeed quite tall. A few years back, Lina mentioned on her YouTube channel that she stands between 5'11” and 6 feet, approximately 1.80 meters. Her mother, known as “La Flaca” Estefan, is 1.70 meters tall, making it evident when they are together that Lina has surpassed her mother in height. Lili has humorously acknowledged this on social media, playfully noting that although her daughter is taller now, “she will always be my little girl.”

How old is Lina? Born on August 2, 2002, Lina is about to turn 23. Despite her young age, she boasts a remarkable career—she debuted on the runway at 15, walked in New York Fashion Week, and has been featured in significant campaigns.

Beyond her height and her well-known last name, Lina has proven she has the resolve to handle criticism. After being crowned Miss Universe Cuba, she addressed comments about her family connections with confidence: “Some days I felt my last name helped me, other times I felt it was a disadvantage, making me work three times harder,” she stated in a recent interview.

Lina also discussed criticism regarding her English proficiency and media exposure from a young age: “I've been in the public eye since I was a child. I've been criticized for everything. But I learned to look in the mirror and know who I am. Because when you know who you are, you've already won. No one can take that away from you.”

With these words, Lina clearly communicated her determination to make a name for herself based on her own accomplishments. The pressure, rather than weakening her, has only solidified her resolve.

Tall, Young, and Grounded As the pageant draws near, Lina proudly embraces her Cuban heritage, prepared to represent the island with elegance, strength, and stature—both figuratively and literally.
