Second time’s the charm for Annika Xue Sager, the newly minted Miss Universe Singapore 2025.
The 25-year-old master’s student, whose mother is Singaporean Chinese and father is German, was crowned on Sunday (Oct 5) at the pageant finale held at Amber Lounge at the Fullerton Bay Hotel. She will be representing Singapore at the 74th Miss Universe contest in Bangkok, Thailand in November.
The fitness instructor and model with a bachelor's degree in hospitality business was also finalist back in 2019, where she also won the subsidiary title of Miss Global Asian Model Singapore.

“My journey back to Singapore after studying abroad has been deeply meaningful,” said Sager, who lived abroad for five years.
“It gave me the chance to reconnect with the country where I was born, yet never had the opportunity to truly grow up in because of my international upbringing,” said the biking enthusiast, who is both at home in a leather jacket as she is wearing the Lumina Orchid crown.
“I may not sound like a typical Singaporean nor look like one, but I know I embody the evolving face of Singapore – resilient, determined, and future-focused,” she said.
The top-three winners (from left): IVF nurse Alexis Kaur, 24, in third place; master's student Annika Sager, 25, in first place; and business management student Inez Chen, 19, in second place.
Aside from Sager, business management student Inez Chen, 19, clinched the runner-up position, while IVF nurse Alexis Kaur, 24, placed third out of 15 finalists.
Sager also took home two out of three subsidiary titles: Miss Body Beautiful and Miss Fan Favourite. The third subsidiary title, Miss Congeniality, was won by 28-year-old social media strategist Tiffany Tay.
