South African beauty queen Tshego Gaelae has etched her name into the history books by becoming the first Black woman to win the prestigious Mrs World title in its 40-year history.
The pageant, held in Las Vegas on January 29 and 30, saw Gaelae rise above a talented global field to claim the crown, making her a trailblazer in the competition’s legacy.
Gaelae’s victory is not only a personal triumph but also a landmark moment for South Africa, as she becomes the second South African to win the title.
In 2024, the 34-year-old attorney was crowned Mrs South Africa.
Candice Abrahams previously brought the crown home in 2016, and now, Gaelae follows in her footsteps, making history with a legacy all her own.
The 2025 Mrs World competition, a celebration of beauty, grace, and intelligence, witnessed the country’s pride shining through, as Gaelae demonstrated her resilience, strength, and grace—qualities that have defined her life both on and off the stage.
Balancing the roles of devoted mother, wife, labour relations manager, and model, Gaelae’s journey to the Mrs World crown is a testament to her unwavering dedication to her family, career, and community.
Shortly after her emotional win, Gaelae took to Instagram to share her joy with her followers. In a heartfelt post, she expressed her gratitude and overwhelming elation.
“To God be the glory. Thank you so much for the love and support, I am beyond grateful and elated! My beautiful South Africa, the crown is coming home,” she wrote, capturing the moment in a powerful message that resonated with her fans across the globe.
The road to the crown was not easy, but Gaelae’s perseverance, elegance, and determination led her to this monumental achievement.
As a role model for many, she embodies the essence of empowerment, inspiring women around the world to pursue their dreams and defy expectations.
The Mrs World crown now sits proudly on her head, but it is her journey—one of grace, courage, and devotion—that truly makes her a queen in every sense of the word.
The crown is most certainly coming home!
