The world of beauty pageants and modeling is in mourning following the untimely passing of Kseniya Alexandrova, a beloved Russian model and former Miss Universe Russia, who died at age thirty after a freak accident involving an elk. Alexandrova succumbed to severe brain injuries sustained in the crash, after fighting for her life for more than a month. The devastating incident occurred on July 5, 2025, in the Tver Oblast region of Russia. Alexandrova was a passenger in her husband’s Porsche Panamera when an elk suddenly darted onto the road and smashed through the windshield, violently striking her on the head.

Her husband recalled, “From the moment it jumped out to the impact, a split second passed. I didn’t have time to do anything… everything was covered in blood.”

Despite the immediate response of other drivers and emergency services, she slipped into a coma from which she never recovered. Alexandrova, who had married just four months earlier in March 2025, remained hospitalised until she passed away. Sources differ slightly on the date of her death—some report August 12, others say August 15—but most confirm mid-August 2025 as the timeframe.

A highly accomplished woman, Alexandrova earned the title of Vice-Miss Russia in 2017 and went on to represent the country at the Miss Universe pageant that same year. Academically, she held a degree in finance from the Plekhanov Russian University of Economics and, in 2022, completed her studies in psychology. She was also known to serve as a psychodrama therapist.

In the wake of her death, her modelling agency, Modus Vivendis, issued a heartfelt statement, remembering her as “bright, talented… a symbol of beauty, kindness, and inner strength”. The Miss Universe Organisation also paid tribute, sharing a video tribute and expressing condolences to her family, praising her grace, beauty, and lasting spirit.

Kseniya Alexandrova’s sudden death serves as a sobering reminder of life’s fragility. In honouring her memory, her admirers remember not just her external beauty, but the warmth, strength, and passion she brought to every endeavour.
