Mexicana Universal Ciudad de México explained

Mexicana Universal Ciudad de México is a pageant in Mexico City, Mexico, that selects that state's representative for the national Mexicana Universal pageant.

The state organization has produced two Nuestra Belleza Mundo México titleholders, in 1999 with Danette Velasco and 2004 with Dafne Molina.

Due to political reform in the Distrito Federal in late 2015, it changed its name officially to Ciudad de México, therefore, changing the state title "Nuestra Belleza Distrito Federal" to "Nuestra Belleza Ciudad de México", and days before the national final of Nuestra Belleza México 2015, the band's representative in this state was officially changed. In late 2017 the pageant changed the name to "Mexicana Universal Ciudad de México".

Mexicana Universal Ciudad de México is located at number 12 with two crowns of Nuestra Belleza Mexico.
