Miss Universe 2025 Results: Mexico Wins Fourth Crown
Fátima Bosch of Mexico was crowned Miss Universe 2025 on November 21, 2025, at the Impact Arena in Bangkok, Thailand. The 25-year-old fashion designer became the fourth Mexican woman to win the title, following Lupita Jones (1991), Ximena Navarrete (2010), and Andrea Meza (2020).
The 74th edition was not without controversy. Pageant executive Nawat Itsaragrisil was removed from his duties after publicly calling Bosch “dumb” during a pre-competition event. Several contestants, including reigning Miss Universe Victoria Kjær Theilvig, walked out in protest. Despite the drama, Bosch’s poise and advocacy platform on education equity carried her to victory.
