After earning the Miss New York 2025 title, Iuliia Bazhan took part in the national pageant in California, where she reportedly placed Second Runner Up. The competition brought together delegates from across the United States, each representing different backgrounds, experiences and paths to the national stage.

As part of the Ms. Globe USA program, the event is often described as recognized internationally for its focus on leadership, confidence and charitable engagement. According to program materials and public references, established in 1996, the pageant has been described as earning global recognition for highlighting women who combine public presence with purpose.

The national finals took place over an intensive week of rehearsals, presentations and live stage segments. While some delegates had prepared for the competition for more than a year, others joined the process only months before arriving in California. Despite different levels of preparation, the atmosphere throughout the week was widely described as supportive, with contestants forming close connections behind the scenes.

Iuliia advanced through each stage of the competition and was reported to have placed as Second Runner Up, placing her among the top three delegates nationwide. The result may position Miss New York 2025 as one of several notable rising figures in American pageantry.

“Being selected from such a strong group of women was a meaningful experience for me. The week was intense and memorable, and it gave me the opportunity to represent my title with focus and intention. I’m grateful for the trust placed in me and for the chance to take part in this national stage.”

Following the national results, Iuliia described the experience as a period of personal and professional reassessment and as an opportunity to challenge herself, connect with women from across the country and step into a more visible public role with intention.

In her first interview after the finals, Iuliia spoke about the women who shared the stage with her and the impact the experience had on her.

“I was inspired by every woman who was there” she said. “Each of them was unique, beautiful and strong in her own way. Being part of that environment felt like a privilege. I am very lucky that this experience came into my life – it changed me.”
