The 25-year-old, representing the central state of Goias, beat off competition from 14 other finalists at the event in Sao Paulo to walk away with the top prize which is set to include international fame, a GBP1,350 cash prize and advertising contracts worth ten times that.
It came after some of the fiercely competitive candidates - including Ms Macedo - had thrown the pageant into disarray by claiming on twitter some of the girls had paid to guarantee a top three result.
Eliana Amaral, who came in 2nd, was said to have paid for the result and also to have forged an x-ray to show she did not have a butt implant.
Third place this year went to Jessica Amaral. "I'm all emotional - I didn't expect to win,'' said Ms Macedo as she put the pre-event controversy behind her.
"All hell broke loose on social media sites but now I can say the contest was real.'' But she admitted she had a bit of help with her butt. "It isn't 100 per cent natural - I had a butt lift. I always had a large backside but liposuction improved it."
