When Belize took the world stage at Miss Universe 2025, all eyes turned to one radiant woman from Independence Village, a charming coastal community a short boat ride from Placencia. Bella Zabaneh's journey from a small southern village to the global spotlight captured hearts — and showcased the beauty, confidence, and pride that define Belize.
The Jewel of the South Shines Bright
Growing up in Independence, surrounded by lush mangroves, vibrant culture, and endless Caribbean horizons, she embodied the essence of Belizean authenticity. Her passion for community, environment, and empowerment became her platform — a voice for both beauty and purpose.
Her Miss Universe performance wasn’t just about elegance and poise; it was a celebration of Belize’s natural and cultural heritage — from the rhythmic Garifuna drums to the colors of the Barrier Reef reflected in her national costume.
She reminded the world that Belize is not just a destination — it’s an experience.
