The Miss Universe 2025 pageant will feature a surprising dual Mexican representation. In addition to Fátima Bosch, another young woman with strong ties to Mexico will participate in the international competition.
She is Naima Acosta, who currently holds the title of Miss Switzerland. At just 20 years old, the model has drawn attention for her mixed cultural background, as she is the daughter of a Swiss mother and a Mexican father. She was born in the town of Giubiasco, in the canton of Ticino, and was crowned Miss Switzerland 2025 on September 27 during a ceremony held in Bern.
Naima's participation has sparked conversation on social media and lifestyle platforms due to her bicultural identity, as her presence in the contest represents the union between Europe and Latin America, as well as the growing recognition of women with diverse origins.
Her Link to Mexico
During her early years, Naima lived in Puerto Aventuras, Quintana Roo, where she developed a strong bond with Mexican culture. From a young age, she showed interest in artistic and athletic disciplines, practicing gymnastics, martial arts, and various painting techniques, including watercolor, oil, and acrylic.
After that period, the young woman returned to Switzerland to continue her academic and professional training, without leaving behind her connection to Mexico, which remains present in her personal life and in the way she shares her story.
Although only one of them will officially compete for Mexico, both Naima Acosta and Fátima Bosch will arrive at Miss Universe 2025 with the same objective: to stand out in one of the most important beauty pageants in the world.
Naima's presence as the Swiss representative has sparked interest among internet users, who identify her as "the second Mexican" in the contest. Her participation reflects how new generations often grow up between different cultures, proudly integrating all of their roots.
On social media, the young woman shares part of her preparation for the pageant, showing an authentic and approachable profile that has begun to gain followers in both Switzerland and Mexico.
A Pageant Seeking Diversity
Miss Universe 2025 is shaping up to be an edition marked by plurality and multicultural representation. The presence of two women with Mexican roots, one competing for Mexico and the other for Switzerland, is an example of how identity can transcend borders.
For many, Naima Acosta embodies a mix of traditions and values that enrich the pageant, in addition to representing the pride of belonging to more than one place. Her story adds a special touch to an edition that promises to bring together participants with inspiring trajectories.
In this way, Mexico will have a double presence on the stage. One from its official delegation and another through a Swiss contestant who carries Mexico in her roots and in her heart.
