After more than a decade, the Miss Earth crown has returned to Czechia.

Natálie Puškinová triumphed in the 2025 Miss Earth competition, held in the Philippines, becoming only the second Czech winner in the pageant’s 25-year history. The first was Tereza Fajksová, who claimed the title in 2012.

According to ABS-CBN, the Philippines’ largest television network, Puškinová stood out among nearly 80 contestants from around the world. In the final round, she surpassed representatives from Chile, Brazil, Ukraine, and the Philippines, securing the crown in front of a global audience.

The final ranking placed Iceland as first runner-up, Vietnam as second runner-up, and Thailand in third. Puškinová’s victory adds another major success for Czech beauty pageants, following Krystyna Pyszková’s win at Miss World 2024.

“This is another huge success for our country,” said Taťána Pánek Makarenko, president of Miss Czech Republic. “We now have two Grand Slam crowns in just two years — Krystyna at Miss World and Natálie at Miss Earth. I’m extremely proud of Natálie. She worked hard, spoke with confidence, and truly deserves this. Her reign will be exceptional, and I’m glad we’ve brought the title back to Czechia.”

In a message shared on Instagram, Puškinová reflected on one of the most meaningful moments of her journey — meeting the Aeta people, an indigenous community in the Philippines.

“Their connection to the land, their traditions, and their genuine warmth reminded us how beautiful it is to live close to nature,” she wrote. “Thank you for the warm welcome and for sharing your traditions.”
