Ana, now Mrs Tourism Queen International 2018, was the original winner of Miss Brazil World 2015. At that time, she was married in Belgium, where her husband is from, but not in Brazil. Being single in her native country meant that she was accepted by MWO, however, her marriage was in the process of homologation in Brazil, which would happen in a few months. She then had to choose one or the other, and she decided not to stop the homologation process. Catharina Choi Nunes, her 1st runner-up, was then crowned Miss Brazil World 2015.
