During the Miss Universe 2025 national costume competition in Thailand, Miss Great Britain, Danielle Latimer, stunned onlookers with a dramatic, yet deliberately choreographed, fall. The 36-year-old's performance, inspired by Eliza Doolittle from 'My Fair Lady,' symbolized her own transformation from poverty to the Miss Universe stage.
Latimer explained that her East End London upbringing and refined presentation on the Miss Universe stage mirrored Doolittle's rise from a flower seller to an elegant lady. She expressed how the costume represented her personal journey of transformation.
The pageant also saw controversy when Miss Israel, Melanie Shiraz, claimed she received death threats and antisemitic comments due to edited footage. Shiraz presented original footage to counter claims that she glared at Miss Palestine, highlighting the intense scrutiny and online hatred competitors can face.
