Barbara Pérez Hernández (born December 9, 1963), better known simply as Barbara Palacios Teyde, is the third contestant from Venezuela to win the Miss Universe pageant. She did so in Panama on July 26, 1986. Barbara returned to Venezuela to become a popular talk show of hostess. She was formerly the Minister of Tourism of Venezuela.
From 1990 to 1996 she was the co-presenter of the pageant that crowned her in the first place, Miss Venezuela. Miss Palacios came back in the 1999 edition for a brief moment onstage with two other presenters, Carmen Victoria Perez and Mayte Delgado.
Ironically Barbara came to host the show when Perez was let go over a contract dispute. Delgado was 3rd runner-up to Palacios in 1986 and became a Miss Venezuela presenter when Palacios was let go.
Barbara Palacios was one the 5 former titleholders to be honored in 2001 during the Miss Universe pageant in Bayamon, Puerto Rico. The other 4 were Anne Marie Pohtamo from Finland, Irene Saez from Venezuela, Deborah Carthy-Deu from Puerto Rico and Lupita Jones from Mexico.
Barbara Palacios is the daughter of Spanish-born television actor Jorge Palacios. She lives in Florida and has a line of jewelry that bears her name.
