Amber Haze, the reigning Rainbow Carnaval Queen, claims the Miss Gay Aruba 2025 crown after a journey of perseverance and passion.
Amber Haze has officially been crowned Miss Gay Aruba 2025, marking a triumphant moment in her performance career and a milestone for Aruba’s queer community. The pageant, organized by Cage Production under the direction of Humphrey Odor, was held in two parts at Cage Night Club.
The first stage of the competition took place on September 27, where Amber delivered a show-stopping medley of Lady Gaga songs. Her performance, complete with theatrical elements including real fire and simulated blood, captured the essence of Mother Monster and left the audience in awe. The final night on October 5 featured the crown-round judges’ question, evening gown and bathing suit presentation, and the much-anticipated coronation.
Amber Haze, also the current reigning Rainbow Carnaval Queen, has been a fixture of Aruba’s queer entertainment scene. By day, Giovannie Giel, the persona behind Amber, is a celebrated make-up artist and professional pageant coach, helping numerous aspiring queens achieve local and international recognition. Beyond her professional accomplishments, Amber is dedicated to supporting Aruba’s queer community, attending pride events, local drag shows, and mentoring upcoming talent.
Reflecting on her victory, Amber shared: “Winning Miss Gay Aruba 2025 is a dream come true. My journey has taught me that perseverance pays off, and I hope to use this title to create safe spaces and opportunities for Aruba’s queer community.”
One audience member commented: “Amber Haze is a dedicated and hardworking queen. With the right opportunities and guidance, we are confident she will represent Aruba with pride and distinction on any stage.”
Looking ahead, Amber will be hosting an event at Boutique Speakeasy on October 29th and will appear at Cage Night Club on November 1st. Her ambitions also include competing internationally and using her platform to advocate for the creation of safe, inclusive spaces for Aruba’s queer community.
