On November 21, 2025, the eagerly anticipated Miss Universe 2025 pageant took place at the Impact Challenger Hall in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi, Thailand. As representatives from all over the world fought for the coveted crown, the glittering finale brought beauty, glamour, and culture together on one stage. One of Thailand’s most beloved celebrities, Jeff Satur, gave a moving performance to kick off the show, creating the ideal atmosphere for the evening.
This 74th edition of Miss Universe was one of the most competitive in the pageant’s history, with a record-breaking 120 contestants. Each delegate demonstrated years of training in stage presence, communication, poise, and fitness. In front of an enthusiastic worldwide audience, the contestants gave it their all in everything from the national costume round to the swimsuit and evening gown segments.
Fatima Bosch of Mexico won the title of Miss Universe 2025 after a series of fierce elimination rounds. In addition to her striking appearance and self-assured gait, she also impressed the judges with her thoughtful responses during the interview and last round of Q&A. Her opinions on global responsibility, women’s empowerment, and social issues struck a chord with both the jury and the audience, winning her the title.
Manika Vishwakarma of India, who had a lot of fan support and high expectations going into the competition, performed admirably in all of the preliminary events. She displayed confidence on stage and grace in the evening gown round. Manika tried her hardest, but on finale night, she was unable to place in the Top 12. Many Indian fans were disappointed when her journey came to an end before the final placements were revealed, but they were still proud of her representation on the international scene.
Manika’s participation has added to India’s rich history at Miss Universe and inspired many young aspirants back home, despite the fact that she was not selected as a finalist. The pageant once again showcases talent, diversity, and the strength of women’s voices around the world as Fatima Bosch takes the stage as Miss Universe 2025.
