Seven-year-old Stella Krikunova from Voronezh became the winner of the VII national beauty and talent contest "Little Miss and Mister Russia World 2025" final, which was held in Moscow. This was announced by the competition's press service.

This year, 72 children performed in the final. In addition to Krikunova, the top three included 11-year-old Darisu Choydonova from Buryatia and 12-year-old Alena Zhao from Altai.
