Miss Universe 2025 to be held in Thailand

Metro Manila, Philippines - This year’s Miss Universe pageant will be held in Thailand, organizers announced on Saturday, Feb. 8.

The Miss Universe Organization shared the news on social media with a video featuring reigning queen Victoria Kjaer Theilvig of Denmark and some scenic places in Thailand.

“The moment we’ve all been waiting for… Unveiling the ultimate destination for the 74th Miss Universe competition... Where kindness meets tradition and warm smiles welcome the world,” the caption read.

The one-minute video also showcased clips from past crowning moments, including Catriona Gray’s in 2018, which was also held in Thailand.

Last year’s pageant was held in Mexico, where Miss Universe Philippines 2024 Chelsea Manalo did not make the Top 12 but was named Miss Universe Asia 2024.

Earlier this week, Miss Universe Philippines released a teaser hinting that the search for Manalo’s successor will begin soon.
