Surpassing 76 contestants, Emma Tiglao - a beauty born in 1994 from the Philippines became the new Miss Grand International 2025 in the final night of the contest that took place in Bangkok on the evening of October 18. Meanwhile, Vietnam's representative Nguyen Thi Yen Nhi failed to make the top 22. Thus, for two consecutive years, Vietnamese contestants were eliminated early in this beauty pageant.

The new beauty queen is currently a famous model and MC in her home country. She has participated in beauty contests since 2012 and was in the top 20 of Miss Intercontinental 2019. Emma is considered to have all the elements from beauty, intelligence, to stage presence, and always makes a strong impression when performing and has a large fan base.

Emma Tiglao's coronation also means that this country has had a representative crowned Miss Grand International for two consecutive years.

In this year's contest, the runner-up titles went to the beauties: Thailand (1st runner-up), Spain (2nd runner-up), Ghana (3rd runner-up) and Venezuela (4th runner-up).

In the final night of Miss Grand International 2025, 77 beauties from all over the world went through the rounds: swimsuit show, speech on the topic of ending war and violence, evening gown show and behavior. From there, the judges selected the top 20, top 10, top 5 and the titles of runner-up and beauty queen.

This year's contest started on September 29, with sub-competitions such as bikini performance, national costume, private interview and semi-finals. Some prominent faces that many people predict can be crowned are Miss Venezuela, Philippines, Czech Republic, Ghana, Guatemala, Tanzania, France, Indonesia, Ecuador, England...

When she first entered the competition, Vietnam’s representative Yen Nhi appeared rather obscure, was criticized for her foreign language ability and faced criticism from domestic audiences for her slip of the tongue. Although she gradually asserted her form and had an impressive performance in the semi-finals on October 15, Yen Nhi still did not get good results.

Yen Nhi was born in 2004, from Dak Lak, currently a tourism student. She was crowned Miss Grand Vietnam 2025 on the evening of September 14. The beauty is 1.72 m tall with measurements of 81-64-92 cm. She has strengths in body shape and performance style.
