Sixty-five-year-old Brazilian Irenilda de Oliveira Meneses proved it's never too late to be a beauty queen as she was crowned Sao Paulo's most beautiful elderly woman on Thursday (May 9).
The finalists, all residents of Sao Paulo over the age of 60, competed in the annual beauty contest organized by Sao Paulo's state health department to coincide with Mother's Day.
