MMXXViss UNIVERSE

2025 Miss Universe Contestants Gallery


Continuing with the Roman numeral theme, the 2025 Miss Universe contestant gallery will be called MMXXViss UNIVERSE since MMXXV is 2025 in Roman numerals!

The big day for the finals of Miss Universe 2025 has yet to be announced but rumor has it that they are planning to move it up to October as opposed to the 2023 and 2024 pageants which were both held in November of their respective years. We also don't have an official host country yet but apparently 8 countries are in the running and they are: Argentina, Costa Rica, Dominican Republic, Morocco, India, South Africa, Spain, or Thailand. Who will be the lucky woman chosen this year?!?!



OTHER NEWS

(posted 2024 December 25)
Delegates are starting to be crowned for the 74th Miss Universe pageant to be held in 2025 but the date and venue are not yet confirmed and yes, all women who are at least 18 years of age are eligible to compete and there will continue to be no age limit and contestants who have been married or have children or are transgendered are eligible to compete.

Are you excited?!?!?! Is it your country's turn?!?!?!

Who will be crowned MMXXViss UNIVERSE (a.k.a. Miss Universe 2025?)
Let's meet the contestants crowned so far!!!

Angola-Maria Cunha

What a gorgeous headshot! 21-year-old Maria will represent Angola and she hails from the city of Lianda. Angola has placed four times and they won their only Miss Universe crown in 2011 thanks to Leila Luliana da Costa Vieira Lopes but this nation hasn't placed since so could Maria make a huge comeback?


China-Xuhe Hou

The land of the great wall sends us Xuhe Hou from Jilin City this year. China has never won the crown but their best finish was as 2nd runner up in 2002 which was technically elevated to 1st runner up when the original 2002 Miss Universe winner was dethroned and placed in the 2024 Miss Universe pageant among the top 30 so will the woman who is representing 1/6th of the world's population place for a consecutive year?


France-Eve Gilles

Funny story. In 2001, I won a dance competition at a cabaret called La Nouvelle Eve in Paris, France and now I have dubbed France's representative, Eve Gilles as "La Nouvelle Eve" and she will represent the land of the Eiffel Tower and recent host of the 2024 Olympics. France won two Miss Universe crowns (1953 and 2016) and they last placed in 2024 and is one of only two countries that has competed at every Miss Universe pageant since its inception in 1952 (Canada is the other one and USA was disqualified in 1957 after preliminaries but before finals).


Kazakhstan-Dana Almasova

Kazakhstan has never placed at Miss Universe so Dana has a chance to make a name for her country. Will she achieve that elusive first placement for this land rich with accessible mineral and fossil fuel resources and can she even go all the way and capture her country's first Miss Universe crown?


Kyrgyzstan-Mary Kuvakova

Mary hails from the city of Bishkek and has a background in social work and takes active involvement in community initiatives. Kyrgyzstan has never placed so Mary has a chance to get her country's first placement.


Suriname-Chiara Wijntuin

Suriname participated for the first time in 25 years last year after being absent from 2000 to 2023. They did place once way back in 1958 when Gertrud Gummels made the top 15. Will Chiara make a name for Suriname??


Venezuela-Stephany Adriana Abasali Nasser

Stephany was born on the 12th of June in the fabulous year, 2000 and is only the second contestant who represented the state of Anzoategui to win the official Miss Venezuela title. The other winner from Anzoategui was Olga Antonetti in 1962 who represented Venezuela at Miss International 1962 making the top 15 only to tragically die in a plane crash in 1968 when Olga was only 24 years old. Stephany is an Economics student at Florida International University and she was born in the state of Bolivar and comes from a family of Syrian immigrants to Venezuela. Of course, Venezuela has done extremely well in international pageantry claiming 7 Miss Universe crowns. Venezuela has placed in 15 of the last 18 Miss Universe pageants missing the semifinals only in 2010, 2016 and 2020 and last winning the crown in 2013 and placing among the top 5 last year. There was a 12 year gap between the Venezuelan wins of Alicia Machado in 1996 and Dayana Mendoza in 2008 so will this pattern continue and will Venezuela claim its 8th Miss Universe crown 12 years after Gabriela Isler won in 2013??
