The Miss Universe Organization has officially announced that the 2025 edition of the prestigious beauty pageant will take place in Bangkok, Thailand. This marks the fourth time the "Land of Smiles" will host the event, following its editions in 1992, 2005, and 2018.
Bangkok has been a significant venue in Miss Universe history. In 1992, Michelle McLean from Namibia claimed the title, followed by Natalie Glebova of Canada in 2005. The most recent hosting in 2018 saw the Philippines’ Catriona Gray crowned as Miss Universe, securing her country’s fourth crown.
The upcoming coronation night is scheduled for 21 November 2025, at the Impact Arena in Muang Thong Thani, Bangkok. For viewers in the United States, it will be broadcast live on the evening of 20 November.
In anticipation of the event, contestants will explore Thailand’s rich culture and scenic destinations. While the primary activities will be in Bangkok, the candidates are expected to visit other cities such as Pattaya and Phuket to experience the country's diverse beauty.
Reigning Miss Universe Victoria Kjær Theilvig of Denmark, who made history in 2024 as the first Danish titleholder, will crown her successor during the event. Her remarkable win in Mexico City last year has set high expectations for this year's competition.
The Miss Universe Organization has already begun building excitement, with fans eagerly awaiting updates as the contestants prepare to embark on their journey in Thailand.
