Fátima Bosch of Mexico won the Miss Universe 2025 crown in a dramatic finale, defeating other standout competitors amid a backdrop of controversy and resilience. The 25-year-old’s victory—her country’s fourth—came just weeks after a heated confrontation with a pageant executive, which triggered a walkout by fellow contestants. The top five included Praveenar Singh of Thailand (1st runner-up), Stephany Abasali of Venezuela, Ahtisa Manalo of the Philippines, and Olivia Yacé of Côte d’Ivoire. India’s Manika Vishwakarma reached the Top 30 but failed to make it into the decisive Top 12.
