What does one of the most beautiful women in the world carry to stay grounded amidst a whirlwind global tour? For Miss Universe 2025 Fatima Bosch, it is a mix of high-fashion readiness, artistic passion, and a ‘cute’ spiritual companion.
In a candid ‘What’s in my bag’ video shared on Instagram by the Miss Universe organisation on March 11, Fatima emptied her tote to reveal a collection of items that paint a picture of a beauty queen who is as much a poet and photographer as she is spiritual. Fatima was crowned Miss Universe 2025 on November 21, 2025, but her journey to becoming Miss Universe 2025 was not easy.
Faith and ‘cute’ reminders
The standout moment of the reveal came when Fatima pulled out a small religious token: “I carry with me this little Jesus Christ that Lena (seemingly one of her friends from the Miss Universe 2025 pageant) gave to me in Thailand, and it’s really cute. I always bring it with me.”
Beyond the figurine, Fatima shared that her faith is her primary compass. She showed her collection of ‘magic art’ cards in a jar, each featuring an inspirational quote. Pulling a pink card to match her mood, she read a verse from Colossians: “And let the peace of Christ rule in our hearts… and be thankful.”
Fatima’s creative toolkit
Fatima’s bag was less of a makeup kit and more of a mobile studio, containing a book and poetry journal for documenting feelings and sketching, a digital camera to capture ‘people, nature, and situations’ as a way to preserve memories, pink markers for note-taking and creativity and headphones, specifically for listening to classical piano music to find ‘breaks’ in her hectic schedule.
Always ‘pageant ready’
Proving the Miss Universe crown requires constant vigilance, Fatima revealed a practical — if slightly unusual — essential: a portable, tiny iron. She explained: “As Miss Universe, you need to be always ready. For any fashion emergency, your clothes need to be perfect.”
Fatima’s love for animals
The video took an emotional turn when Fatima revealed the final item in her bag: a borrowed ‘pet’. Cradling a small dog belonging to someone named Bina, Fatima opened up about her love for animals and the recent loss of her own pet three months ago. “Animals are the cutest thing in the world,” Fatima said, using the moment to advocate for animal welfare, adding, “If you have an animal, give love to them.”
