Many Puerto Rican fashion designers criticized her choice of outfit for Miss Universe's finale, saying that her wearing a black dress hampered her opportunity to become elected Miss Universe. However, it turns out that Cynthia's black dress was never really her choice, it was the pageant directors and her design crew who insisted she must wear such. Rumors spread about the national director Magali Febles bias as she heads two Miss Universe affiliated contests at the same time - Miss Puerto Rico Universe and Miss Dominicana Universe.

On September of 2005, Olavarria sued Febles for the amount of 2 million dollars, alleging mistreatment by Febles as well as favoritism by Febles towards Miss Dominican Republic. She also alleged that past Miss Puerto Ricos managed by Febles had been managed the same way. Febles countered by saying on national television that she does not have that amount of money and by allegedly sending one of her representantives to force Olavarria to give up her title as Miss Puerto Rico during one of Olavarria's personal presentations.
