Génesis María Dávila Pérez (born November 18, 1990) is a Puerto Rican model and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss World Puerto Rico 2014 and represented Puerto Rico at Miss World 2014inLondon.[1]
She was crowned Miss Florida USA 2017 but was disqualified for using outside assistance on hair and makeup.
Dávila was born in Bayamón, Puerto Rico on November 18, 1990.[citation needed]
On August 29, 2012, Dávila represented Arroyo at the Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2013 pageant. She ended up finishing as the first runner-up, and won the Best Legs Award. The winner of Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2013 was Monic Pérez, who represented the municipality of Arecibo. As first runner up, Dávila received the right to represent Puerto Rico at Miss Intercontinental 2012. She finished as the first runner-up, and won the title of Miss North America Intercontinental
On August 13, 2014, Dávila represented Arroyo at Miss World Puerto Rico 2014. She won the competition and also won the Beach Beauty Award. Dávila went on to represent Puerto Rico at Miss World 2014inLondon, where she became the first woman of predominantly African heritage to represent Puerto Rico in Miss World but failed to place in the semifinals.
Dávila represented Miami Beach in the Miss Florida USA 2017 pageant held on July 16, 2016. She ended up winning, and was crowned Miss Florida USA 2017 by outgoing titleholder Brie Gabrielle.[2][3] Dávila was dethroned on July 22, 2016, after it was revealed that she hired outside hair and makeup professionals during the Miss Florida USA state pageant instead of doing the makeup herself, which is explicitly against pageant rules. The pageant stated they received multiple complaints from eyewitnesses and other contestants, in addition to it giving Dávila an unfair advantage. Dávila later filed a lawsuit against the owners of the Miss Florida USA pageant for $15 million, seeking damages for defamation and a restoration of her crown.[4] The lawsuit was later dismissed in October, with its terms confidential.[5] The following year, Dávila returned to Miss Florida USA, representing Miami, and won the competition yet again. She represented Florida at Miss USA 2018 and made the Top 5.[6]
In June 2024, Dávila once again competed in Miss Universe Puerto Rico representing her hometown of Arroyo. Despite being a heavy favorite and front runner, Dávila failed to place in the semifinals.
