10 Stunning Photos of Yolina Lindquist: Meet the Newly Crowned Miss Cosmo 2025
Yolina Lindquist from the USA has been crowned Miss Cosmo 2025 in a glittering finale held in Vietnam. The competition brought together delegates from over 60 countries at Ho Chi Minh City’s Phu Tho Indoor Stadium. Lindquist’s victory marks the second time the United States has claimed the international title.
Lindquist’s journey to the crown began in October when she won the Miss Cosmo USA 2025 title. Before that, she had already made her mark as an outstanding student at Southern Illinois University. There, she graduated Summa Cum Laude with degrees in Marketing, International & Financial Economics, German, and International Trade. Her academic achievements earned her the 2025 Outstanding Senior in Economics award, the highest honour from the university’s College of Business.
Beyond her studies, Lindquist led six student organisations while at university. Her dedication extended to her community, where she championed cancer research and patient support through her platform, *Courage Over Cancer*. This cause holds personal significance—her family in Metropolis, Illinois, has faced cancer firsthand while running their small local business. The Miss Cosmo 2025 finale was a grand event, showcasing talent and advocacy from across the globe. As the winner, Lindquist received a £78,400 cash prize, luxury accommodation, and international endorsement deals.
With her academic excellence, leadership, and advocacy, Lindquist now steps into a year of global opportunities. The prize money and contracts will support her continued work in cancer outreach. Her win also reinforces the United States’ presence in the Miss Cosmo competition.
