Takoradi, Ghana – Almighty 103.7 FM Entertainment Desk
The glitz and cultural pride of Ghanaian pageantry took center stage as the Miss Malaika 2025 beauty reality show unveiled its 20 contestants at a colorful launch event at the National Theatre in Accra. The unveiling ceremony, which has become an annual highlight on Ghana’s entertainment calendar, was filled with fashion showcases, musical performances, and emotional moments, setting the stage for what promises to be one of the most exciting seasons in the competition’s history.
A Legacy of Culture and Empowerment
Since its inception in 2003, Miss Malaika has redefined beauty pageantry in Ghana. Unlike traditional contests that focus solely on appearance, the Malaika brand has championed a holistic approach — celebrating intelligence, talent, cultural identity, and community service. Each year, the competition draws contestants from across Ghana’s 16 regions, offering young women a platform to display not just their beauty but also their leadership potential.
The 2025 edition promises to carry this legacy forward. Organizers emphasized that this year’s theme, “Boldness in Diversity”, reflects Ghana’s multicultural fabric and the strength found in embracing heritage while striving for innovation.
Meet the 2025 Contestants
This year’s contestants come from every corner of Ghana — from the vibrant streets of Greater Accra and the historic towns of Ashanti to the cultural richness of Volta and the Northern regions. The Western Region, home of Takoradi and Almighty 103.7 FM, is also proudly represented.
Each of the 20 young women brings a unique background and ambition. Among them are university students pursuing law, business, and medicine; budding entrepreneurs eager to launch initiatives; and advocates for causes such as education, women’s rights, and environmental sustainability. Their diversity ensures that Ghanaians from all walks of life will see themselves reflected on stage.
The contestants made their first public appearance during the unveiling, where they introduced themselves to thunderous applause from the audience. Their confidence, poise, and eloquence hinted at the competitive season ahead.
A Night of Fashion and Performance
The unveiling was not only about introducing the contestants but also about showcasing Ghana’s creativity. The young women dazzled in African-inspired couture designed by Pistis Ghana and Sima Brew, blending traditional fabrics like kente and batakari with modern silhouettes. The runway became a canvas for cultural storytelling, proving once again that Ghanaian fashion is globally competitive.
Musical performances heightened the energy of the evening. Chart-toppers Kuami Eugene, Adina, and Mr Drew lit up the stage with live sets, blending Afrobeats, highlife, and soulful ballads. The performances reminded audiences that Miss Malaika is more than a pageant — it is a cultural festival that unites fashion, music, and tradition under one spotlight.
What Lies Ahead
The unveiling is just the beginning of the journey. Over the next 13 weeks, contestants will face a series of challenges designed to test their intelligence, creativity, and resilience. Weekly episodes broadcast on TV3 and streamed online will showcase tasks ranging from cultural exhibitions and business presentations to charity projects and public speaking challenges.
Audience participation will be crucial. As always, fans will have the power to save their favorite contestants through SMS and online voting. This interactive format has made Miss Malaika one of the most followed reality shows in Ghana, with discussions spilling onto Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok every week.
Mentorship and Transformation
At the heart of Miss Malaika lies mentorship. Contestants will work closely with established professionals in media, entrepreneurship, and fashion who will guide them through personal development training. Past queens such as Berla Mundi, Anita Akuffo, and Hamamat Montia have credited Malaika with shaping their careers and giving them the courage to pursue leadership roles in society.
This year, mentors will focus on equipping contestants with skills in digital branding, public speaking, and community impact, ensuring they leave the competition ready to make meaningful contributions to Ghanaian society regardless of who wins the crown.
Social Media Buzz
Since the unveiling, social media has exploded with excitement. Hashtags like #MissMalaika2025, #MalaikaQueens, and #AlmightyFMEntertainment have trended in Ghana. Fan pages have sprung up for individual contestants, with early predictions already dividing opinion about who will take home the crown.
Some fans praised the boldness of contestants’ introductory speeches, while others highlighted the diversity in this year’s group. One Twitter user wrote: “Miss Malaika 2025 feels fresh and inspiring. The contestants are not just beautiful — they are powerful.”
The Crown and the Stakes
The winner of Miss Malaika 2025 will take home an enviable prize package, including a brand-new car, a cash prize, wardrobe sponsorships, and ambassadorial opportunities. More importantly, she will carry the mantle of representing Ghanaian womanhood at cultural and international events.
