María Catalina Robayo Vargas is a Colombian beauty queen who was crowned Miss Colombia 2010, the official representative to Miss Universe 2011. Born in Palmira, Valle del Cauca, Robayo is an eight-semester student of law at Pontifical Xavierian University in Cali. Prior to competing in Miss Colombia 2010, Robayo was given the chance to represent Valle in Miss Colombia 2009 when the original Miss Valle 2009, Diana Salgado, was forced to resign because "her body measures surpassed the normal requirements of the competition." Robayo only participated in the first week of the 2009 Miss Colombia pageant, after Salgado sued Valle del Cauca Department organizing committee, and regained the right to represent Valle in Miss Colombia 2009. A year later, Robayo competed once again as Miss Valle in her country's national pageant, Miss Colombia 2010, held in Cartagena on November 15, 2010, where she obtained the Miss Elegance award and the title of Miss Colombia, gaining the right to represent her country in the 2011 Miss Universe pageant, broadcast live from São Paulo, Brazil on September 12, 2011. Robayo became the center of controversy after Brazilian newspaper Agora published photos of Miss Colombia exposing she is not wearing panties during one of the public performances leading up to the Miss Universe 2011 election. According to Fox411 column Pop Tarts, the publication led to Miss Colombia being reprimanded and "told she needed to wear underpants as what she was doing was totally inappropriate." According to FOX411’s Pop Tarts, the 22-year-old Miss Colombia, Catalina Robayo allegedly made the rounds at official appearances in tiny skirts without her underpants. The said photos made their way online and widely searched.
