A powerful lineup of Latina contestants is set to shine at Miss Universe 2025, with representatives from Mexico, Venezuela, Bolivia, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, Chile, and Peru capturing global attention. This year’s pageant, held in Thailand, highlights not only their beauty but also their cultural influence and personal journeys.

1. Fatima Bosch – Miss Universe Mexico

Fatima Bosch, 25, from Tabasco, earned the Miss Universe Mexico title in September 2025. Her poise and determination have made her one of the most talked-about contestants this season.

Bosch also found herself in the center of a controversy after a tense exchange with judge Nawat Itsaragrisil during the sash presentation. His comments sparked a reaction from fellow contestants, leading to a brief walkout in solidarity with her.

2. Lina Luaces – Miss Universe Cuba

Lina Luaces, daughter of renowned Latin entertainment figure Lili Estefan, grew up in Miami with strong Cuban roots. Despite her family’s fame, she has worked hard to build her own path.

She becomes only the second Cuban representative to participate in Miss Universe in more than sixty years, proudly carrying her heritage to the international stage.

3. Jennifer Ventura – Miss Universe Dominican Republic

Jennifer Ventura continues to show remarkable strength following the tragic Jet Set nightclub collapse in April last year. Initially unsure about competing, she eventually chose to move forward, inspired by her personal loss.

Her mother, Roselin Marte Nova, was among the victims of the incident. Jennifer was crowned by reigning Miss Universe Victoria Kjaer Theilvig, making her journey even more meaningful.

4. Maria Ignacia “Inna” Moll – Miss Universe Chile

Inna Moll, 28, is a well-known model and digital creator celebrated for promoting confidence and sustainable fashion. Her online influence has made her one of Chile’s most recognizable faces.

However, she recently faced backlash after a make-up artist filmed her appearing to inhale a white substance from her arm. Moll quickly issued a public apology following the incident.

5. Karla Bacigalupo – Miss Universe Peru

At 33, Karla Bacigalupo is challenging age norms within the pageant world. Based in Los Angeles, she works as an actress and producer while also preparing for Miss Universe.

Married and balancing family responsibilities, she credits her husband for encouraging her to pursue her dream on the global stage.
