Isabella Zabaneh Crowned Miss Universe Belize 2025

Over the weekend, the spotlight shone brightly on Isabella Zabaneh, who was officially crowned Miss Universe Belize 2025. She now carries the crown, and the hopes of a nation, as she prepares to represent Belize at the Miss Universe pageant in Thailand later this year. Zabaneh takes over from Halima Hoy, who proudly flew the Belizean flag in Mexico City last November. This year’s pageant wasn’t short on grace and glamour, with four other inspiring young women—Monisha Hyde, Imani Jex, Libny Rodriguez, and Hope Panton—vying for the title. In the end, Monisha Hyde was named 1st Runner-Up, and Hope Panton took 2nd Runner-Up, also earning the title of Miss Photogenic. Meanwhile, Imani Jex was honored as Miss Congeniality. It was a night of elegance, empowerment, and Belizean pride and the journey for Miss Universe Belize 2025 is just beginning.
