In an enchanting evening filled with glamour and grace, Miss Samoa, Litara Ieremia-Allan, has emerged victorious, being crowned Miss Pacific Islands 2025 during the grand finale of an exhilarating week-long pageant in Honiara, Solomon Islands. This triumph marks the second consecutive year that Samoa has clinched the prestigious title, showcasing the beauty and talent that the islands have to offer.
The crowning ceremony spotlighted the radiant Ieremia-Allan as she is honored by Moemoana Safaatoa Schwenke, the reigning Miss Samoa and Miss Pacific Islands 2024 who dazzled audiences with her performance in Nauru the prior year. The competition showcased a stunning array of contestants from across the Pacific, but it was Ieremia-Allan who captivated the judges and audience alike with her poise and charisma.
The runners-up in the pageant included Racheal Guttenbeil from Tonga, who took home the title of First Runner-Up, and Pauliana angelfromheaven Felise-Vitale from American Samoa as Second Runner-Up. The host nation’s representative, Elsie Polosova, and Ngatepaeru Maoate from the Cook Islands also left an impression, claiming Third and Fourth Runner-Up placements, respectively.
Ieremia-Allan’s achievements didn’t stop at the crown; she also won accolades for “Miss Photogenic” and “Best Stage Interview”, demonstrating her exceptional communication skills and magnetic presence on stage. In a festive twist, Miss Tonga took home awards for Best Traditional Wear and the People’s Choice Award, while Miss American Samoa earned praise for her personality, tourism initiative, and talent.
The pageant served as a platform not only for beauty but also for cultural expression. Representatives, including Miss Samoa and Miss Pacific Islands, addressed pressing issues in their pre-pageant interviews, particularly delving into the challenges globalization poses to preserving traditional cultures among the Pacific island nations.
This event not only spotlights the distinctive beauty of the Pacific Islands but also reinforces the importance of cultural preservation amidst changing times. Congratulations to Litara Ieremia-Allan and all the contestants who participated in this vibrant celebration of Pacific heritage!
