Bangalore, India — In a world where success is often narrowly defined, Mona Sheik stands out as a true polymath. The multi-talented model, with a biracial background, was just crowned Miss World Tourism 2025 in Bali, Indonesia, a testament to her unique journey and dedication to making a difference.
Mona’s path to the crown wasn’t a straight one. Her career began with stints in fashion retail, hospitality, and banking. But it was in the world of film and high fashion that she truly began to shine. Her exceptional work at the Toronto International Film Festival (TIFF) propelled her to the prestigious halls of British Vogue in London. From there, she gained invaluable experience at London Fashion Week (LFW) and the Cannes Film Festival. Her recent walk at Times Fashion Week in India solidified her status as a global force in couture.
A firm believer in creative expression, Mona is also a passionate advocate for using fashion as a platform for social good. Her philosophy is that tourism, at its core, is a deeply human experience—a blend of culture, food, fashion, and people. As Miss World Tourism 2025, she aims to expand the “tourist diaspora” by bringing surrealist expressionism to visual culture, representing a true renaissance in the industry.
Mona is also an academic powerhouse. She is an alumna of the University of Toronto, where she majored in Communications, Culture, Sociology, Art History, and Technology. She also holds a fashion graduate degree from Vogue College, further cementing her expertise.
This international model’s influence goes beyond the runway. She was awarded “Inspiring International Model” at the International Resilience Summit for her public and social work. Now, as a rising star, she uses her platform to inspire and empower the next generation, sharing her story through public speaking to show others that with hard work and a clear vision, anything is possible. Mona Sheik is more than a model—she is a symbol of resilience, creativity, and the power of embracing a multifaceted life.
