Nineteen-year-old University of the Commonwealth Caribbean (UCC) student Nevaeh Allen has been crowned Miss Jamaica World 2025, following the staging of the long-postponed national coronation on Sunday night.
Allen, a business student who hails from Linstead, St Catherine, received the crown from outgoing queen Tahje Bennett at the Karl Hendrickson Auditorium at Jamaica College in St Andrew. The event marked the culmination of the Miss Jamaica World competition, which had been delayed due to the passage of Hurricane Melissa in October last year.
Finishing first runner-up was Asia Wright, who also earned the title of Miss International Jamaica, while Brianna Foster placed second runner-up and was named Miss Earth Jamaica.
Allen competed wearing the Miss Reggae Jamaica Village sash and also walked away with the Most Congenial award. Wright, who wore the Miss Knutsford Express sash, received the Most Poised award, while Foster, competing as Miss Jergens, secured the Best Personality title.
The Miss Jamaica World grand coronation was originally scheduled for November 2, 2025, but was postponed in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa, resulting in the 2025 title being awarded this year.
Now officially Miss Jamaica World 2025, Allen is pursuing a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Finance at UCC. She has expressed a strong commitment to purpose-driven leadership and aims to serve as a positive role model for young women across Jamaica, while actively engaging in philanthropic initiatives that uplift and empower communities.
Sharing her message to young girls, Allen emphasized the importance of believing in one’s aspirations. She encouraged them to dream boldly, believe deeply, and work tirelessly, noting that even the simplest dream can lead to extraordinary possibilities.
