Puerto Rico has a new global queen! 🇵🇷✨ Ivana Carolina Irizarry Fritany made history by winning Universal Woman 2025 in India, bringing home the crown with grace, intelligence, and heart. Ivana, a proud Puerto Rican, is more than just a beauty queen. She is a presenter, model, and social advocate with a degree in Business Administration. She’s also a certified tennis instructor and the founder of Hilos Dorados, a non-profit organization dedicated to improving the lives of senior citizens through acts of love, dignity, and compassion.
Her pageant journey has been nothing short of inspiring — from placing as a semifinalist at Miss International 2019 to finishing 2nd runner-up at Miss Universe Puerto Rico 2024, Ivana has proven that perseverance and passion pay off. Even when faced with unexpected challenges, like losing her national costume “Perla del Caribe” during travel, Ivana showed resilience by donning a stunning Atabey-inspired gown by Giannina Azar — a tribute to the strength and spirit of Puerto Rican women.
In the competition, Ivana captured the hearts of fans worldwide, leading the public vote with 13.4%, cementing her as a favorite before ultimately taking home the crown. đź‘‘
