Pre-Finale Controversy Involving Miss Universe Mexico
The 2025 pageant has already generated headlines after pageant executive Nawat Itsaragrisil allegedly called security on Miss Universe Mexico, Fátima Bosch, during a tense exchange at a pre-event function.
The incident triggered backlash online, though organisers stress the finale will remain focused on celebrating diversity and achievement. Bosch remains a strong favourite, alongside delegates from Spain and the Philippines.
No official disciplinary action has been announced, and the Miss Universe Organisation has not commented publicly on the alleged confrontation.
Global Anticipation and Thailand's Role
The Miss Universe competition continues to be one of the world's most-watched cultural events, drawing millions of viewers across every continent. Alongside the glamour, the pageant has increasingly positioned itself as a platform for advocacy and leadership, allowing contestants to amplify social and environmental causes.
Thailand's hosting duties are expected to boost tourism and international visibility, with the Impact Challenger Hall providing a striking stage for the live broadcast.
