Fatima Bosch celebrates her Miss Universe 2025 victory as fellow contestants gather around her moments after the crowning in Thailand.
Miss Universe 2025, dramatic beauty pageant turned unforgettable as Fatima Bosch of Mexico won the Miss Universe 2025 crown, after a storm of controversy that had gripped the pageant for weeks. Bosch, who became a global talking point after being insulted by the Thai director of the competition, turned her toughest moment into achievement, earning massive support from fans across continents.
The scandal pushed the entire Miss Universe community into action. Dozens of contestants from different nations publicly supported Bosch, calling out the director’s behavior. The situation escalated until the Thai director resigned, allowing the competition to move forward with renewed fairness and transparency. That shift made Bosch a fan favorite long before the final night.
Bosch is known as a humanitarian and active volunteer, and her calm strength throughout the controversy helped define her journey. She was crowned by Viktoria Kjaer Theilvig of Denmark, last year’s winner, during a glittering ceremony packed with global buzz.
This year’s edition hosted in Thailand was bigger than ever. Miss Universe 2025 featured 120 contestants from around the world, making it one of the most competitive seasons in recent history.
One of the biggest moments of the night came from Nadine Ayoub, who made history as the first ever woman to represent Palestine at Miss Universe. She advanced to the Top 30, creating an emotional moment before her journey ended in the semifinals.
The grand finale of Miss Universe 2025 was hosted by American comedian Steve Byrne, who is known for his humor and close style with the audience, being the main face, opened with a high-energy performance from Thai pop star Jeff Satur.
The judges challenged finalists with questions about global issues, the United Nations, and how they would use the Miss Universe platform to inspire young women. “If you win the title of Miss Universe 2025 tonight, how would you use this platform to empower young girls?”
Responding with clarity and conviction, Fátima Bosch said: “Believe in the power of your authenticity. Believe in yourself, your dreams and your heart, and never let anyone make you doubt your worth, because you are worth everything and you are powerful and your voice needs to be heard.”
