Etornam Crowned Ghana’s Most Beautiful 2025
Isabella Etornam Gagblezu has been crowned the winner of the 2025 Ghana’s Most Beautiful pageant on Sunday at the grand finale held at the National Theatre in Accra.
After 12 weeks of intense competition, the 30-year-old Etornam took the title to the Volta Region. This marks the third time in the competition’s history that the region has won.
The eloquent lady overcame four finalists to claim the crown. Asakia from the Upper East Region emerged as first runner-up, while Sika from the Ashanti Region was second runner-up. Nana of the Bono Region was the third runner-up, and Adjorkor of the Greater Accra Region was the fourth runner-up.
The competition began with 16 contestants representing all regions of Ghana, but only five made it to the final round after 12 weeks of evictions.
Etornam impressed judges and audiences throughout the season, winning six awards with 12 nominations, making her the highest awardee of the 2025 edition.
On stage, Etornam showcased the Volta Region’s traditions, highlighting fabrics like Ewe kente and performing traditional dances such as the Atrikpui and Agbadza war dance.
Etornam received a brand-new Haval Jolion SUV, GH¢20,000 in cash, and a fully sponsored trip abroad courtesy of Global Winds and Travel, along with other prizes from sponsors.
The finale was spiced with performances from Wendy Shay, Cina Soul, and Enam, adding vibrancy to the celebration.
