The Miss Universe 2025 grand final is almost here. After weeks of rehearsals, special events, interviews with the judges, the national costume show, and the preliminary gala, the top 30 contestants will advance to the main event, where they will battle it out to succeed Victoria Kjær.

This year’s edition, held in Thailand, is historic. It features debuts from Palestine, Saudi Arabia, and Mozambique, along with the return of several countries. For the first time, a special title was awarded to Miss Universe Latina, chosen to represent the vibrant Latino community living in the United States.

What’s Miss Universe the theme? Who’s hosting the grand final?

The theme for Miss Universe 2025 is “The Power of Love”, selected to celebrate unity, inclusion, and the transformative impact of women.

Hosting duties this year fall to American comedian Steve Byrne, while Puerto Rican icon Dayanara Torres (Miss Universe 1993) and R’Bonney Gabriel (Miss Universe 2022) will serve as backstage correspondents and commentators.
