Chayathanus Saradatta of Thailand bested 49 other hopefuls to be crowned Miss Globe 2025 during glitzy rites in Tirana, Albania.
Saradatta won the online poll and was named the People’s Choice awardee, receiving the crown from her predecessor Diana Moreno of Colombia.
Home bet Valentina Gegprefti finished behind Saradatta as the 1st runner-up. Samantha Sarelli of the United States, Jolien Pede of Belgium, and Jennifer Chang of Cuba were proclaimed 2nd, 3rd, and 4th runners-up, respectively.
Others who made it to the semifinal round (the Top 11) were Mexico’s Adriana Bautista (Miss Bikini), Eritrea’s Mikal Tesfay, Dominican Republic’s Keitty Familia, Indonesia’s Dela Deniya, Sta. Lucia’s Lea Marzu Backhaus, and the Philippines’ Annabelle McDonnell.
McDonnell mirrored the journey of the Philippines’ 2022 delegate Chelsea Fernandez as both won their Head-to-Head challenges and finished in the semifinal round (although Fernandez’s was a Top 15).
The Filipina beauty queen’s cover of Adele’s “Just Like the Movies” was the best vocal rendition during the Talent Round, and scored the third highest among the performers; it was France’s Emily Calgano who ultimately won Miss Talent.
Other delegates who made it to the first cut (the Top 21) were Malaysia’s Pratiba Kay, Nigeria’s Kafayat Oribayo, Romania’s Andreea Ciuca, New Zealand’s Lucrezia Bradley, Luxembourg’s Jasha Verhoef, Hong Kong’s Yimin Wang, Czech Republic’s Nicoleta Domojoni, Australia’s Claire Rossier, and Macau’s Christina Zheng.
The remaining special awards went to Canada’s Valentina Vulcaj (Miss Golden Girl), South Sudan’s Hadeyea Andrew Mangar Abiar (Miss Friendship), China’s Zhao Ruiyao (Miss Photogenic), and India’s Jasmine Rana (Miss Social Media).
The Philippines has won the Miss Globe crown just twice before: in 2015 by Ann Colis and in 2021 by Maureen Montagne.
