Stephanie del Valle Díaz (born December 30, 1996) is a Puerto Rican musician, model and beauty queen who was crowned Miss World 2016.

Del Valle was set to co-host Miss World 2021 alongside Peter Andre and Fernando Allende at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum, though the December final was postponed to March 2022 due to the Omicron variant ramping cases on the island and leaving 23 out of the 97 contestants to test positive for the virus.

Del Valle went on the record on her social media and on Puerto Rican television to refute the lawsuit, stating that "[The] allegations are baseless, completely false.

[13] On February 28, 2022, Del Valle took to Instagram to announce she would no longer be hosting the pageant's 70th edition, claiming "It is contrary to my ethics and moral principles to continue working with an organization that has acted in a defamatory, frivolous and unfair manner; solely for the purpose of causing harm.

"[14] On March 10, 2022, the Miss World organization sent out a press release from CEO and Chairman Julia Morely stating that "[...] part of the information that was being spread in the media was simply not true.
