Miss Universe crowned its 2025 winner: Miss Mexico Fátima Bosch Fernandez. In the weeks leading up to her emotional victory, the Tabasco, Mexico, native made headlines for walking out of a sash ceremony after an executive publicly insulted her. The controversial remark prompted a walkout, as multiple other Miss Universe contestants followed Fátima out of the room in solidarity.
A clip from the incident quickly went viral on the internet, and Fátima spoke out about it in a video that was shared by pageantry_com and tgpc_official via Instagram in November 2025.
“You’re director is not respectful. He called me dumb,” Fátima said. “I think that’s not fair because I am here. I do everything okay. I don’t mess with anyone. I just try to be kind. I think that the world needs to see this because we are empowered women, and this is a platform for our voice.”
Below, News47.us has gathered all the information we know so far about Fátima.
Fátima is currently 25 years old. She was born on May 19, 2000.
Although she’s now Miss Universe, Fátima’s priorities remain in her philanthropic efforts. As seen on her Instagram page, Fátima regularly visits children’s hospitals to bring joy to the young patients. She posted a sweet Instagram photo of herself with a child from her hospital room.
“Every encounter with these little angels fills my heart with hope and gratitude,” the Miss Universe winner captioned her post. “They are a great example of strength and courage. Today I feel happy to be back, because they remind me every day why I’m here.”
