Telangana, India – In a moment of historic pride for Ethiopia and the African continent, 19-year-old Hasset Dereje Admassu was crowned 1st Runner-Up and Miss World Africa 2025 at the 72nd Miss World Festival, held in Telangana, India. The coveted title of Miss World 2025 went to Opal Suchata Chuangsri of Thailand, while Hasset’s powerful performance earned her continental recognition and global admiration.
Hasset’s triumph marks the most significant achievement for Ethiopia in Miss World history and reinforces her image as a beacon of intellect, grace, and cultural pride on the international stage.
From Addis Ababa to the World
Born in Addis Ababa, Hasset is a second-year Chemical Engineering student at Addis Ababa Science and Technology University. With fluency in Amharic and English, she exemplifies the fusion of academic excellence and cross-cultural awareness that defines a new generation of African women.
Throughout the competition, Hasset impressed judges and audiences alike with her poise, eloquence, and purpose-driven message. She reached the Top 24 in the Talent Challenge and Top 32 in the Sports Challenge, demonstrating not only beauty but resilience, intelligence, and a competitive spirit.
A Voice for Ethiopia and Africa
Hasset’s standout moment came during her presentation video, where she urged the global community to see Africa — and Ethiopia — through a new lens. She passionately advocated for narratives that celebrate African resilience, innovation, and cultural richness, rather than outdated stereotypes.
“To God be the glory. This title is not just mine; it belongs to Ethiopia and all those who believed in me,” she said following her crowning moment.
As Miss World Africa 2025, Hasset is now entrusted with representing the continent’s vision of hope, leadership, and transformation. Her expected engagements under the Beauty with a Purpose campaign will focus on empowering young women in STEM, expanding access to education, and promoting sustainable development in Africa.
Africa Ascends on the Global Stage
Hasset’s elevation to the role of Miss World Africa is not just a personal victory — it is a continental milestone. Her achievement symbolizes the rising profile of African women in global spaces, as ambassadors of progress, dignity, and dreams realized.
Ethiopians and Africans worldwide have taken to social media to celebrate her success, trending hashtags like #MissWorldAfrica, #HassetAdmassu, #MissEthiopia, and #LandOfOrigins, while calls to support her future initiatives grow louder.
As Opal Suchata Chuangsri of Thailand begins her reign as Miss World 2025, the world also turns to Africa’s newly crowned queen — Hasset — to inspire, advocate, and shine.
