Grace Richardson, a 20-year-old musical theatre student from Leicester who describes herself as a singer, dancer, model, and activist, was crowned Miss England 2025 on 21 November 2025 at the Grand Station in Wolverhampton. 

She was crowned by Charlotte Grant, Miss World England and England’s representative at the 72nd Miss World Festival, held in India last May.

Before winning the coveted Miss England crown, she won titles that include Miss Leicestershire 2024 and Miss East Midlands 2025.
