Fátima Bosch Crowned 74th Miss Universe

COLOMBO (NEWS 1st); Fátima Bosch of Mexico claimed the 74th Miss Universe title, making history as the first woman from Tabasco to wear the crown.

Bosch’s journey to the top was anything but ordinary. 

Born in Santiago de Teapa, she pursued fashion design at Universidad Iberoamericana, honed her craft at Milan’s Nuova Accademia di Belle Arti, and even studied at Vermont’s Lyndon Institute. But behind the glamour lies a story of resilience—Bosch has openly shared her struggles with dyslexia and ADHD, turning adversity into strength.

Her pageant career began in 2018 with the Flor de Oro crown, and by September 2025, she had become a national sensation after winning Miss Universe Mexico, amassing nearly 1.7 million followers across Instagram and TikTok.

However, Bosch’s reign hasn’t been without controversy. At the sash ceremony in Bangkok, tensions flared when pageant official Nawat Itsaragrisil allegedly insulted her for not promoting Thailand enough online, calling her a “dumbhead.” The incident sparked solidarity among fellow queens, including Miss Universe 2024 Victoria Kjær Theilvig, who staged a walkout. Security was called to restore order.

Bosch responded with unwavering confidence:

“He called me dumb because he has issues with the organization, and I think that’s unfair. We are empowered women, and this platform is for our voices. No one can silence it. No one will silence me.”

Her words echo the spirit of a new era in pageantry—where beauty meets boldness, and empowerment takes center stage.

hailand, Philippines, Venezuela, Mexico, and Cote D’Iviore made it to the Top 5 round of the Miss Universe pageant.
