Aline Geraldi: The strength of a beauty queen who turned crowns into purpose

'MISS' COVER EDITION - SEPTEMBER 2025 ISSUE

On the cover of the MISS edition of Hooks Magazine, Aline Geraldi represents more than titles and runways: she embodies the breaking of paradigms and the creation of a new perspective on what it truly means to be a beauty queen. As the first Miss Brazil FNBI and also crowned Miss Queen C. International, Aline turned each achievement into both a personal and collective milestone. For her, the crowns were not merely symbols of beauty, but turning points that reinforced discipline, resilience, and above all, the power to inspire other women.

Mother of Sophia and Lucca, Aline stepped onto the stage with an even greater purpose: to show that motherhood does not limit dreams, but expands horizons. By balancing international pageants with family life, she challenged the stereotype that only single women could take that place. Her presence in the world of pageantry has become an inspiration for mothers who want to prove that life does not have to be fragmented into roles, but celebrated in its wholeness.

Now living in the United States, Aline is writing a new chapter in her journey. Studying English and opening paths in entrepreneurship and fashion, she embraces this new beginning not as a renunciation, but as reinvention. Every challenge—from cultural adaptation to the longing for family, and the memories of profound losses—has been transformed into a stepping stone for her personal and professional growth. Her resilience shows that vulnerability can become strength, and that courage is the guiding thread of every triumph.

For future generations, Aline hopes to be remembered as someone who defied stereotypes and proved that beauty may open doors, but it is purpose that sustains the journey. Her legacy is that of a woman who demonstrated that it is possible to be a mother, a beauty queen, a professional, and a dreamer—all at once—without ever giving up authenticity.

Check out an exclusive interview with Aline Geraldi:

You were the first Miss Brazil FNBI and also earned the title of Miss Queen C. International. How did these crowns transform not only your career but also your way of seeing life?

The crowns came as recognition of a journey but, above all, as a turning point. They taught me that beauty is only the surface of something much greater—discipline, resilience, and the ability to inspire others. Each title amplified my voice, gave me authority in spaces where I might not have been heard before, and showed me that the true impact of a beauty queen lies in how she transforms the lives around her. And above all, being the first Miss Brazil FNBI who was also a mother showed all women that no matter what stage of life you are in, you must go after your dreams.

Being a mother and, at the same time, representing Brazil in international competitions requires balance. How did you find the strength to reconcile motherhood, the runway, and personal challenges?

Motherhood gave me a new perspective on life. If before I stepped on stage only for myself, after my children Sophia and Lucca, every step carried the weight and sweetness of a greater purpose. My strength came precisely from this duality: the runway demanded perfection, but motherhood reminded me daily of the essence of life—affection and genuine devotion. This balance, though often challenging, was also what made me more human and stronger, as well as an inspiration for many women. I broke the stereotype that a beauty queen could only be a single woman without children, and that mothers couldn’t pursue their dreams after motherhood.

Today, you are in the United States, studying English and opening new paths. What does this “new chapter” represent for you in terms of reinvention and the future?

Living in the United States means starting anew—not as someone erasing the past, but as someone who honors each stage and writes new pages with greater maturity. This chapter represents the courage to step out of my comfort zone, returning to a classroom to study English, and proving to myself that reinvention is possible at any stage of life. Studying, entrepreneuring, and dreaming in a new country is, for me, proof that identity and future can walk together on the same stage.

Many young women see beauty queens as merely symbols of beauty, but your journey shows strength, resilience, and purpose. How would you like to be remembered by the next generations of women?

I want to be remembered as someone who challenged stereotypes. Beauty may open doors, but it is purpose that sustains the journey. I hope my story inspires future generations to understand that it is possible to be a mother, a woman, a professional, and still a dreamer. If I can leave a legacy, let it be to show that we don’t have to choose between roles—we can be whole and pursue our dreams at any stage of life.

What were the most challenging moments along this journey, from the stage to adapting to another country, and how did you transform each obstacle into strength?

There were countless challenges: the rigorous preparation for competitions, society’s critical gaze, adapting to a new country, and missing my father Luiz and my mother-in-law Ana. But in each challenge, I learned to look beyond the problem and see opportunities for growth. Vulnerability gave me wisdom, and obstacles, when faced with courage, became stepping stones to reach new horizons.

Today, living in the United States has proven to be the best choice not only for me but for my entire family. We are immersed in a new culture, rich in lessons, which has strengthened us in every detail of daily life. I am loving this experience: the diversity, the opportunities, and the energy of this country inspire me to dream even bigger. I feel that here I am writing a story of expansion, where each chapter is an invitation to evolve and flourish.

What’s next for Aline Cristiane? What dreams and projects do you hope to pursue in this new phase of your life in the United States?

What comes next is expansion. I want to consolidate my projects in the worlds of entrepreneurship and fashion, create space for new initiatives that combine purpose and impact, and continue being a voice that inspires women to reinvent themselves. I dream of leaving a mark that goes beyond aesthetics, building a journey defined by courage, transformation, and authenticity, while inspiring women on an international scale.
