Fatima Bosch of Mexico has been crowned Miss Universe 2025, winning the title at a finale overshadowed by weeks of controversy. The 25-year-old humanitarian emerged as a crowd favourite after she was publicly berated by a Thai pageant director during a pre-pageant meeting, prompting several contestants to stage a walkout.
Bosch received the crown from last year's winner, Victoria Kjær Theilvig of Denmark. Thailand's Praveenar Singh finished as first runner-up, followed by Venezuela's Stephany Abasali, the Philippines' Ahtisa Manalo, and Ivory Coast's Olivia Yacé, rounding out the top five.
Often called the "Super Bowl" of beauty pageants, Miss Universe draws millions of viewers every year, with delegates selected through licensed national competitions. This year's event, hosted in Thailand, featured contestants from 120 countries. Nadeen Ayoub became the first woman to represent the Palestinian people, reaching the top 30 before being eliminated. The finale was hosted by American comedian Steve Byrne and opened with a performance by Thai singer Jeff Satur.
After the swimwear round, the top 30 were trimmed to 12, and later to the final five following the evening gown segment. Finalists addressed questions on global issues they would highlight at the UN General Assembly and how they would use the Miss Universe platform to inspire young girls.
