At just 23 years old, Vanessa Kraljevic won the Miss World Bolivia 2025 title representing the Bolivians living in the UK. The crowning moment took place in her hometown of Santa Cruz de la Sierra on June 28th, marking the beginning of a journey that will lead her to represent Bolivia at the 73rd Miss World Festival, set for 2026.

Born on April 23, 2002 (she is 23 years old), Vanessa embodies the spirit of a new generation of Bolivians: young, globally educated, socially conscious, and deeply connected to both tradition and transformation. A graduate in Religion, Politics and Society from the prestigious King’s College London, she is currently pursuing a second degree in Law at the University of Law in the UK. Her academic achievements, combined with her fluency in Spanish, English, and Italian, reflect a multicultural and multidisciplinary outlook that transcends borders.

Vanessa’s leadership and dedication have already opened remarkable doors. Among thousands of candidates, she was selected to represent all of Latin America during a special session at the British Parliament, where she presented a social project she helped design on education in rural areas of her country. Her presentation not only impressed the audience but also moved a Member of Parliament to express the urgent need to strengthen ties with her region and offer tangible support. It was a defining moment that underscored her ability to inspire action on an international stage.

Far beyond the classroom, she is also a talented artist and athlete. A pianist, singer, and practitioner of aerobic dance, Vanessa expresses herself through movement and melody. Her love of sports, particularly tennis and equestrianism, further highlights her balanced and dynamic lifestyle.

Even in her early years, Vanessa’s excellence stood out. She was recognized as an AP Scholar with Honor for her outstanding performance in advanced courses, and she took initiative as a student leader, organizing a Model United Nations to foster critical thinking and public debate among her peers.

Her actions in support of education and environmental awareness have earned her accolades, and her admiration for Bolivian historical figures, especially the legendary Juana Azurduy, inspires her desire to help shape a better future for her country.

The 1st runner-up was Eugenia Redin, Miss Santa Cruz, while Fernanda Tango, Miss La Plata, got the 3rd position.

Vanessa Kraljevic will now get prepared to represent Bolivia at Miss World. She was crowned by Olga Sanchez, who recently represented Bolivia at the 72nd Miss World Festival, in Telangana, India.
