Some may cynically question the presence of death metal at a beauty pageant—a place traditionally reserved for polished smiles and rehearsed poise. Yet, Fernández’s choice was not a mere act of rebellion for the sake of spectacle. It was a statement, a visceral reminder that true beauty is diverse, raw, and sometimes deafening.

“Metal has been a fundamental part of who I am," Fernández proclaimed, her words slicing through the superficial calm like her vocals on stage. "Being able to express it on such a platform was a chance to be truly real, breaking down barriers and inspiring others." Her Instagram post captured this sentiment, striking a chord with many who walk the tightrope between society's expectations and personal truth.
