Henel Vare has been officially confirmed as Miss World Estonia 2025, following a succession process earlier this year.

Vare originally placed as first runner-up in the national competition. The title was subsequently withdrawn from Mari-Ann Rõuk, who is completing her studies and was not yet prepared to fulfill the international obligations and regulations required by Miss World. As a result, Henel Vare has assumed the crown and will represent Estonia at the 73rd Miss World Festival, the 75th Anniversary edition.

Vare is known for her passion for animals and equestrian life, frequently highlighting horseback riding and outdoor activities as central parts of her lifestyle.

She is also associated with Estonia’s drifting community and is often referred to as an “Estonian Drift Girl.” Drifting is a motorsport discipline that emphasizes controlled oversteer driving, requiring precision, technical skill, and vehicle control. Estonia has a growing drift culture within Northern Europe, with organized competitions and grassroots events, where female participation continues to expand.

Preparations are underway as Henel Vare begins her official duties ahead of representing Estonia on the Miss World stage.
