María Julia Mantilla García was born in 1984 in Trujillo, a city of the north coast of Peru. On December 4, 2004, in the Beauty Crown Theatre located in the Chinese beach city of Sanya, this 174 cm beauty was crowned Miss World 2004, by the reigning champion, 2003's Miss Ireland Rosanna Davison, daughter of Lady in Red pop crooner Chris de Burgh. She received a USD $100,000 prize. During her reign, she will perform a variety of duties largely focused on fundraising for charitable organizations.

Popularly known in her country as "Maju" Mantilla, her aunt Maria Julia Mantilla Mayer was Miss Peru 1969. She won the right to represent Peru in the Miss World contest as runner-up to Liesel Holler (Miss Peru Universe 2004) and was one of the major favorites in the run-up to the pageant, which was decided by a global television/telephone/online vote.
