The Miss Brazil 2025 pageant (officially titled Miss Universe Brazil 2025) has captured nationwide attention from the very first stage — the preliminary round. Here, 24 remarkable young women representing Brazilian states officially embarked on their journey to win the coveted national crown. Far more than just an entry phase, this round served as a crucial filter to identify the most deserving candidates to advance further in the competition.
Purpose of the Preliminary Round
The preliminary round was designed to evaluate contestants comprehensively — not only in terms of physical appearance but also intelligence, communication skills, and inspirational potential. In 2025, the pageant has placed greater emphasis on a well-rounded definition of beauty, focusing particularly on:
- Public speaking and communication abilities
- Awareness of social and global issues
- Community involvement
- Stage presence and charisma
- Confidence and individuality in performance
The organizing committee stated: “We are looking for a candidate capable of competing on the global stage — someone who embodies not just beauty, but the essence of female leadership.”

Following a series of state and regional auditions, 24 finalists were officially chosen to represent their respective states at the national level. Among the standout names from the preliminaries are:
- Gabriela Lacerda – Piauí
- Aline Fritsch – Rio Grande do Sul
- Ana Carolina Ceolin – Espírito Santo
- Karoline de Morais – São Paulo

Each contestant brings a unique, inspiring personal story — from professionals in tech and healthcare, to environmental and educational activists working to make a real difference in their communities.
Main Segments of the Preliminary Competition
This year's preliminary round featured a variety of challenges, designed to assess the contestants from multiple dimensions:
🔹 Personal Interviews
Each contestant met individually with the panel of judges to discuss their perspectives, personal goals, and values.
🔹 Runway Presentation
Candidates showcased their poise and presentation in formal evening gowns, cocktail attire, and casual fashion. Judges scored them based on elegance, walk technique, expressions, and professionalism.
🔹 Social Advocacy Speeches
Each contestant delivered a 2–3 minute presentation on a chosen social topic — such as gender equality, technology for women, climate change, or education in remote areas — showcasing their ability to speak passionately and with insight.
🔹 Media Simulation Test
A new feature in Miss Brazil 2025, this segment involved a mock video interview to assess how contestants might represent Brazil in international media engagements.
Highlights of the Preliminary Round
