Early life
Ariadna Gutiérrez Arévalo was born in Sincelejo, Colombia. When she was seven months old, her parents moved to Barranquilla, where she was raised. She studied at the German School of Barranquilla.[2] She is a cousin of Miss Universe 2014 and Miss Colombia 2013 winner Paulina Vega.[3]
Career
Gutiérrez was awarded as Miss Sucre 2014. She was subsequently crowned as Miss Colombia 2014. Currently, she is working as a professional model.[citation needed]
Gutiérrez competed at the Miss Colombia 2014, representing the Sucre Department, where she won the title of Miss Colombia, gaining the department's very first win at the Miss Colombia pageant.[citation needed] The version of the pageant she won was its 80th edition held on November 17, 2014, in Cartagena de Indias.[4]
On November 16, 2015, Gutierrez crowned her successor, Andrea Tovar, as Miss Colombia 2015.
Gutiérrez represented Colombia at the 64th Miss Universe pageant and she was mistakenly crowned the winner from her country by host Steve Harvey.[5] However, after Gutiérrez's crowning, Harvey realized that he had misread the result and should have announced her as the 1st runner-up and Pia Wurtzbach of the Philippines as the winner.[6] This was originally the second time having a back-to-back victory after Venezuela in 2008-2009, since Paulina Vega is also from Colombia.
Gutiérrez later called the experience "humiliating" and declared that the television producers handled the mistake poorly. At a Colombian radio station, she remarked that it was a "great injustice and very humiliating for me."[7][8]
After pageantry, Gutiérrez appeared the 2017 film XXX: Return of Xander Cage with American actor Vin Diesel. Gutiérrez later took part in the first American season of the reality show competition Celebrity Big Brother. She was evicted on finale night, placing tied 3rd/4th with Mark McGrath.[9]
