Gaelae triumphed over Sri Lanka’s Ishadi Amanda, who was named first runner-up, and Thailand’s Ploy Panperm, who secured second runner-up.

The win has been widely celebrated by the Mrs South Africa organisation, which played a key role in supporting her journey.

In their tribute, they wrote: “From Soweto, to Vegas and now the World, @mrsworldpageant The Crown is Coming Home! Thank you to everyone who supported our Queen on her incredible Journey. Thank you to the @mrsworldpageant Organisation and Judges for everything you do, and for Seeing our Queen and her brilliance.”

Established in 1984, the Mrs. World pageant is the first international beauty competition exclusively for married women.

Gaelae’s historic win as the first Black Mrs. World underscores a significant step forward for diversity in global pageantry.

This achievement adds to the growing influence of South African women in the beauty pageant world, which has seen increasing competition between South Africa and Nigeria.

In 2024, Nigeria’s Chidimma Adetshina made history as the first Nigerian and West African to place as the first runner-up in Miss Universe, further elevating Africa’s presence on the international stage.

Gaelae’s victory is a proud moment for South Africa and the African continent, as she brings home a title that reflects both her dedication and the rising prominence of African women in global pageants.
