Her journey to becoming Miss Universe Israel began with her entry into the national pageant as “Miss Caesarea.” The choice was symbolic; Caesarea, a city rich in history and beauty, represents the blend of tradition and modernity she cherishes. While “Miss Tel Aviv” was already taken, Caesarea felt like the perfect match.On a summer evening in Florida, at the Hilton Miami Aventura Hotel, Melanie was officially crowned Miss Universe Israel 2025. The event was both elegant and vibrant, reflecting the diversity and energy of the Israeli community abroad. She succeeded Ofir Korsia, Miss Israel 2024, and will represent Israel at the global Miss Universe competition in Thailand this coming November.
