Since her return to the spotlight after her time in prison, Emma Coronel, wife of drug lord Joaquín 'El Chapo' Guzmán, has remained a prominent figure in entertainment news.
The 35-year-old former beauty queen made headlines again when it was revealed she was a special guest at the Miss Guatemala USA 2024 pageant.
The buzz began when her participation as a guest at the gala was announced. Coronel attended the event on Sunday, November 24, at the Celebrity Centre International in California, where she was seated at the judges' table.
Through Instagram stories, Coronel was seen wearing an elegant black dress with a plunging neckline, paired with a matching jacket. She completed her look with a sleek "wet" hairstyle and bold eye makeup that accentuated her gaze.
Accompanying her was American designer April Black Diamond, who has worked closely with Coronel since inviting her to model for the Milan Fashion Week in September of this year. This event marked the former beauty queen's return to public life.
Social media also captured Coronel posing alongside Rocío Ochoa, the newly crowned Miss Guatemala USA 2024. Ochoa shared a heartfelt message on Instagram, thanking Coronel for "supporting our event. It was a pleasure sharing this moment with you."
This public appearance reinforces Coronel's efforts to move forward with her life after spending two and a half years in a U.S. prison.
Coronel was charged in 2021 after being linked to her husband's operations as the leader of the Sinaloa Cartel. Found guilty of drug trafficking and money laundering, she received a three-year prison sentence.
Following her release in September 2023, Coronel initially maintained a low profile, avoiding public attention. However, a year later, in September 2024, she re-emerged as a model for April Black Diamond during Milan Fashion Week.
Her debut on the high-fashion runway, particularly her bridal look, garnered significant attention.
Since then, Coronel has remained active in the public eye, leveraging social media to solidify her status as an influencer and attending prominent events such as fashion shows and the Miss Guatemala USA 2024 pageant.
