Venezuelan beauty ambassador Anna Blanco Flores captured the crown at Miss Charm 2025, the third edition of the rising international pageant, held at BHD Studio in Vietnam on December 12, 2025. Blanco's victory marks a historic moment for Venezuela as she becomes the first Venezuelan titleholder in the pageant's brief history, succeeding Rashmita Rasindran of Malaysia who reigned as Miss Charm 2024 before passing the crown to her successor.
The event brought together 34 contestants from across the globe vying for one of the most culturally focused titles in contemporary pageantry, a competition that blends poise, social advocacy and intercultural diplomacy. Blanco emerged from a competitive field that included finalists from Germany, Indonesia, Mexico and Thailand.
At just 25 years old and hailing from Caracas, Venezuela, Blanco stood out not only for her striking presence but also for her artistic background. According to her profile, she is a trained vocalist and songwriter who studied popular music performance in Canada and is completing her bachelor's degree in popular music performance and songwriting in London. Beyond her creative talents, Blanco plays both piano and guitar, bringing a multifaceted artistry to the stage.
Her crowning culminated a year of dedicated competition and development. Blanco's pageantry journey includes winning El Concurso by Osmel Sousa in 2023 and later being designated Miss Grand Venezuela 2024, a title that propelled her into international contests. She also competed at Miss Grand International 2024 in Thailand, where she participated with strong showings, though she did not place in the final round.
A Night of Cultural Diplomacy and Global Representation
Miss Charm aims to be more than a beauty contest. Its mission is to promote tourism, cultural exchange and educational outreach. Founded in Vietnam, the pageant has rapidly established itself as a platform that celebrates global diversity and empowers contestants to serve as cultural ambassadors. The organization emphasizes eloquence, advocacy and stage presence alongside traditional pageant disciplines such as swimsuit and evening gown segments.
Blanco's victory came after a series of rigorous evaluations, culminating in a televised finale that highlighted not only her beauty but also her commitment to cultural dialogue and global understanding. In addition to the crown, she inherits a year-long role representing the Miss Charm organization in events worldwide, from cultural showcases to tourism initiatives.
The final results placed Luisa Victoria Malz of Germany as First Runner-Up and Rinanda Aprillya Maharani of Indonesia as Second Runner-Up, with contestants from Mexico and Thailand rounding out the Top 5.
Triumph for Venezuela on the World Stage
Blanco's triumph continues Venezuela's storied legacy in global beauty competitions, a country long celebrated for producing internationally successful titleholders. Her win at Miss Charm 2025 not only amplifies that legacy but also underscores the evolving nature of international pageants, where personality, cultural fluency and global awareness carry as much weight as traditional pageant aesthetics.
Beyond the crown, Anna Blanco's ascension signals a growing inclusivity and international resonance for Miss Charm, a pageant that in just three years has built momentum as a distinct and dynamic presence on the global stage. Observers and fans alike are now watching to see how she will shape her reign and what initiatives she will champion as the newest ambassador of Miss Charm.
