Miss Universe 2025

Olivia Yacé from Ivory Coast captivates the world and takes fifth place. The Miss Universe 2025 pageant took place on November 21, 2025, at the Impact Challenger Hall in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi, Thailand, and brought together 127 contestants from around the globe. 1. The winner was Fátima Bosch from Mexico, crowned by Victoria Kjær Theilvig from Denmark, Miss Universe 2024. This victory marked Mexico's fourth Miss Universe title. 2. Praveenar Singh from Thailand took second place. 3. Stephany Abasali from Venezuela took third place. 30 semifinalists competed in rounds that included national dress, swimwear, evening gowns, and a question-and-answer session. The event was marred by controversy, including the resignation of judges and allegations of manipulation of the results. One contestant left the event in solidarity with Fátima Bosch after she was publicly insulted by an official. Despite this controversy, Bosch's victory was celebrated, including by Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum. "Be true to yourself"—with this powerful message, Olivia Yacé inspires young people worldwide to embrace self-love and self-confidence. She is also deeply committed to empowering women in Africa. In addition to Yacé, two other African representatives made it into the top 30: Solange Keita from Rwanda and Lyshanda Moyas from Zimbabwe. To date, only six women from African countries have won the Miss Universe title: South Africa: Margaret Gardiner (1978), Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters (2017), Zozibini Tunzi (2019); Botswana: Mpule Kwelagobe (1999); Angola: Leila Lopes (2011).
