Jovana Nikolic
I celebrated with my closest friends and loved ones! Then I took a couple of days to slow down, soak it all in, and really appreciate the moment. After all the training, discipline, and hard work that went into it, I wanted to give myself a little time to actually celebrate the achievement before jumping into whatever came next.
What is your hidden talent?
I have many, I was professionally trained in latin dance for over 10 years, so movement and performance have always been a huge part of my life. I’m also very creative and love painting, music, and craftsmanship. I enjoy expressing myself through all different forms of art and creating things with my hands.
What is your favorite memory of Miss Bikini?
After six years with Miss Bikini, choosing just one is almost impossible! But my own crowning ceremony will always be at the top of the list. There’s nothing quite like hearing your name called and receiving that crown after everything you’ve worked for. And now, getting to experience that same magical moment from the other side with so many women I’ve coached and supported makes it even more special.
What’s something people would never guess about you?
I’m secretly a total nerd! I’ve always loved school and learning. Growing up, I attended three different elementary schools between two countries and somehow managed to maintain A+ grades along the way. I went to two different colleges on two different continents—and here’s the fun part: I can read and write in nine different languages!

What I Love About Miss Bikini
What I love most about Miss Bikini is that it’s so much more than a competition—it’s a community of women who inspire, support, and challenge each other to grow. I love watching women from different backgrounds come together, step outside their comfort zones, and discover a stronger, more confident version of themselves. Having experienced Miss Bikini as a titleholder, coach, judge, co-host, and event host, I’ve had the opportunity to see this community from so many different perspectives, and that’s what makes it so special to me. It’s the friendships, the energy, the confidence, and the feeling that every woman has the opportunity to shine in her own way.
