Rhythmic gymnast Stacey Chan crowned Miss Hong Kong 2025

Rhythmic gymnast Stacey Chan triumphed over 13 other finalists to claim the coveted title of Miss Hong Kong 2025 in a glittering ceremony at TVB City in Tseung Kwan O on Sunday evening.

The 26-year-old newly crowned beauty queen had previously won plenty of competitions in rhythmic gymnastics as a Hong Kong team member. She is a PhD student at Columbia University in New York.

“I was really moved. My goal was simply to do my best when I reached the Miss Hong Kong stage, and I didn’t think much about the matter of titles,” Chan said, moments after being crowned by last year’s winner, Ellyn Ngai Lok-lam.

“I’m most looking forward to the coming charity activities … and to feed back to society with what I’ve learned.”

She said her desire to strive for fair educational opportunities for children in Hong Kong had motivated her decision to pursue a PhD.

Angela Stanton, 26, an investment banking derivatives trader, and Jane Yuan, 27, an assistant manager of a doctor of business administration programme, were named first and second runner-up, respectively, in broadcaster TVB’s flagship beauty contest’s 53rd edition.
