Natalie Puskinova of Czech Republic is Miss Earth 2025

November 6 ------ A new environmental warrior who will champion sustainability has been crowned at the 2025 Miss Earth pageant, and she is Natalie Puskinova of the Czech Republic. Puskinova inherited the title from Jessica Lane of Australia at the culmination of the 25th Miss Earth coronation ceremonies held at the Cove Manila club of Okada Manila in Parañaque City on Wednesday evening, Nov. 5.

The new queen bested 81 other aspirants and is expected to take part in projects that aim to combat the effects of climate change under the banner “Beauties For A Cause.” Three other elemental queens were crowned. Soldis Ivarsdottir of Iceland settled for the Miss Earth-Air title, which she inherited from Hrafnhildur Haraldsdottir of Iceland.

Filipino-American beauty Bea Millan-Windorski of the United States relinquished her Miss Earth-Water crown to Mu Anh Trinh of Vietnam, while Waree Ngamkham of Thailand rounded up the winners’ circle as Miss Earth-Fire.

The Philippines’ Joy Barcoma failed to make the cut and finished in the Top 8 despite her spectacular answer in the question-and-answer portion. Aside from Barcoma, the three other ladies in the Top 8 who did not advance to the final round were proclaimed runners-up, as is customary of the Miss Earth pageant. They are Nathalie Briones (Chile), Laila Frizon (Brazil), and Mariia Zheliaskova (Ukraine).

The Miss Earth pageant was established in 2001 by Carousel Productions as a platform for promoting environmental awareness, along with the counterpart national competition, Miss Philippines Earth.
