Biography

Sánchez López prepared for a career in modeling at Escuela de Modelos y Promoción de la Moda, located in Seville. [3] [4]

1984, she was elected Miss Seville and Miss Western Andalucia.[5] That same year she participated in the Miss Spain contest, winning the title of Miss National,[3][6][7][8] gaining the right to compete at Miss Universe the following year.[9]

In 1985, Teresa competed in Miss Universe 1985 representing Spain where she finished as 1st Runner-Up.[4][8] [10][11][12] [13][14] [15] [16][17] This was the highest placement for Spain since 1974 when Amparo Muñoz won the title and remained the highest non-winning placement for the country until 2013 when Patricia Yurena Rodríguez also finished as 1st Runner-Up (coincidentally both Sánchez López and Rodríguez lost to contestants from Latin American countries).[18] During the pageant Sánchez López was a favorite among media and pageant experts to win the crown.[8][12][13][19] [20][21][22]
