Mexico, get your celebratory confetti ready, Fatima Bosch is officially Miss Universe 2025! The 25-year-old designer and model just snagged the 74th Miss Universe crown, making her country proud and proving that determination (and a little sparkle) can overcome absolutely anything.

And when we say “anything,” we mean it.
Fatima literally walked the Miss Universe stage with a glass shard stuck in her foot. Yes, a glass shard. She powered through the pain, delivered fierce runway moments, and still managed to outshine every competitor with grace so unreal, fans can’t stop talking about it.

The competition took place in Thailand, where Bosch arrived ready to represent Mexico with heart, culture, and pure queen energy.

Who Is Fatima Bosch, Miss Universe 2025?

Fatima Bosch Fernández comes from Santiago de Teapa, Tabasco—now officially “the hometown of a Miss Universe.” Born on May 19, 2000, she started her pageant journey after winning the Flor Tabasco Golden Flower 2025 title. From there, she became Miss Universe Tabasco 2025, then Miss Mexico 2025, and now… well, a global icon.

Before entering pageantry, Bosch worked as a professional model. But her education is just as impressive. She studied Fashion and Apparel Design at Universidad Iberoamericana, trained at Milan’s Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, and even spent time at the Lyndon Institute in Vermont.

But what makes Fatima’s story even more inspiring is her openness about living with dyslexia and ADHD. She’s become a global voice for neurodiversity, often speaking about how her learning differences shaped her resilience, especially during her powerful Top 5 interview. She’s not just wearing a crown—she’s carrying a message.

A Queen With Purpose

Fatima didn’t only show beauty and talent—she showed heart.
She promised to use her Miss Universe platform to serve others, uplift neurodivergent individuals, and bring representation to communities often overlooked on the world stage.

Now crowned the 74th Miss Universe, she joins Mexico’s legendary titleholders:

• Lupita Jones

• Ximena Navarrete

• Andrea Meza

And now… Fatima Bosch, the queen who walked through pain, criticism, and pressure—and still shined like the brightest star in the universe.
