Mexico’s Fátima Bosch Wins Miss Universe 2025 in Thailand

Overview

• Miss Universe president Raúl Rocha publicly condemned director Nawat Itsaragrisil over his Nov. 4 livestream where he called Fátima Bosch “stupid,” saying Nawat’s role would be limited.
• Brazil’s Maria Gabriela Lacerda advanced to the Top 30 after drawing wide attention with a Nossa Senhora Aparecida costume by Mário Cézar Silva that took seven months, a 15‑person team and about R$130,000 to produce.
• Miss Jamaica Gabrielle Henry fell from the stage during preliminaries in Nonthaburi and was hospitalized at Paolo Rangsit Hospital, with initial updates indicating no fractures.
• Videos and reports highlighted safety concerns about slippery surfaces and a stage design with a central opening, which observers said may have contributed to falls by Jamaica and Great Britain.
• The final was carried in Brazil by Record via R7.com and Record Plus, as this 74th edition also featured expanded inclusion with Palestine’s first participation, contestants over 40 and a returning trans representative.
