Career
Modeling
Ferreira debuted in a Patrol Jeans commercial and other advertising campaigns.[2]
In an Asunción fashion show, her silk dress slipped and bared her chest, garnering media attention. She said it would have been unprofessional to fix her dress while walking, so she continued with her walk and posture. Her fan club commended her actions.[3]
She walked the runway in many occasions, including the New York Fashion Week, creating an uproar in local and international media from both supporters and critics alike.[4]
She has also walked in fashion shows in Milan, Santiago, Paris, Brasil, Uruguay and Paraguay.[5]
In 2018, she signed with the model agency Wilhelmina, famous for models such as Nicki Minaj, Demi Lovato and Nick Jonas.[6] She was featured in Gettyimages editorial photography.[7]
In March 2019, she released a new photo in her Instagram account announcing she had been selected to appear in Cosmo Fashion Night in Mexico City. In the photo, she was seen walking close to mariachi musicians.[8]
On September 9, 2021, she tripped on her high heels and nearly fell during the Custo Barcelona Spring/Summer 2022 fashion show, held as part of the New York Fashion Week.[9] The incident was widely reported in the media,[10][11] and several commentators wondered if she had hurt herself, leading her to officially declare that she had only superficial scratches (and a bruised ego).[12]
Television
Ferreira became a local celebrity after her participation in Telefuturo's Parodiando, a 2015 television show in which participants perform parodies of famous singers, for her parodies of artists like Taylor Swift and Violetta.[13]
Pageantry
In 2015, Ferreira represented Guairá in Miss Teen Universe Paraguay 2015 and eventually won the title. She represents her country at Miss Teen Universe 2015 which was held in Guatemala and was placed as the third runner-up. On August 31, 2021, Ferreira was appointed as Miss Universe Paraguay 2021. At the end of the event, she succeeded outgoing Miss Universe Paraguay 2020 Vanessa Castro. Ferreira then represented Paraguay at the Miss Universe 2021 pageant in Eilat, Israel,[14][15][16][17] placing as the first runner-up, the highest placement for the country in the history of the pageant to date.[1]
Fashion Week appearances
Personal life
Between 2018 and 2020, she was in a relationship with Omar Castorino Montanaro, grandchild of Sabino Augusto Montanaro, former Minister of Interior during the dictatorship of Alfredo Stroessner.[23]
She became engaged to singer Marc Anthony (thirty years her senior) on 13 May 2022,[24] they later got married on 28 January 2023.[25][26] On February 14 of that year (Valentine's Day), the couple announced that they were expecting their first child, a boy, the seventh for Anthony and the first for Ferreira.[27]
