Miss Brasil 2011
Machado was not a favorite for the Miss Brasil 2011 title; however, she advanced to the final stage on 23 July and was crowned as the most beautiful woman in the country,[3] winning the eleventh title for Rio Grande do Sul and expanding the advantage of the state as the biggest winner in the history of the pageant.[4]
Miss Universe 2011
Priscila Machado was the second runner-up at the Miss Universe 2011 pageant.[5]
After she was crowned Miss Brasil 2011, Machado was booed by the audience at HSBC Brasil. Supporters of other candidates, outraged by the victory of Miss Rio Grande do Sul, shouted insults against the winner, such as "peladona" (naked) and "marmelada" (a term used in Brazilian Portuguese to refer to a situation where someone cheats in a game or vote).[6] One of the reasons for the audience reaction was a photo released a few days before the pageant in which Machado appears topless,[7] something forbidden by the rules of the contest. However, days after being crowned Miss Brasil 2011, the organization of the contest defended Machado's title, claiming that the photo should not be considered, since it had not received authorization to be disclosed.[8]
In addition to that, Machado also sparked further controversy after she revealed that she had done three plastic surgeries: breast augmentation, liposuction and rhinoplasty.[9]
