Biography
Shiraz was born in Tel Aviv; her mother is Estee Shiraz. The family moved to America when Shiraz was young. She graduated from the University of California, Berkeley, where she earned a double degree in Data Science and Interdisciplinary Studies. She was also involved in Chabad, the campus Jewish Student Union, and Hillel. After working in Silicon Valley, she earned an MBA at Tel Aviv University. She co-founded a fintech startup in London but returned to Israel after the October 7 attacks. She currently lives in Tel Aviv.[1][2][3]
Pageantry
Shiraz competed as “Miss Caesarea” to represent Israel at the 2025 Miss Universe pageant. She was crowned Miss Universe Israel at the Hilton Miami Aventura Hotel in 2025.[4][5][6] Upon her victory, she told The Jerusalem Post that she wanted to use the title an opportunity for “meaningful advocacy,” and added, “I want every Jew and Israeli, no matter where they are, to feel proud of this moment.”[7]
Shiraz has been target of online abuse since her being named Miss Universe Israel. She has criticized Nadeen Ayoub, who is running as Miss Palestine in Miss Universe 2025, for using her platform to spread falsehoods about the October 7 attacks and the Gaza War.[8][9][3]
