Opal Suchata Chuangsri from Thailand won the Miss World 2025 title on Saturday. The event took place in Hyderabad, a city in southern India. This year, 108 contestants from around the world participated in the competition.

Chuangsri Claims the Crown

Chuangsri stood out among all the contestants. As a result, she secured the top spot. Hasset Dereje Admassu from Ethiopia was declared the first runner-up.

Meanwhile, Krystyna Pyszková, last year’s Miss World, crowned Chuangsri during the final ceremony.

Hosts and Venue

The 72nd Miss World pageant was hosted by Stephanie del Valle, who won the crown in 2016, and Indian presenter Sachiin Kumbhar. Interestingly, India hosted the global pageant for the second consecutive year.

India’s Performance in the Competition

India’s Nandini Gupta performed well and reached the top 20. However, she could not progress to the final round.

Over the years, India has seen six of its women win the Miss World crown. These include Reita Faria (1966), Aishwarya Rai (1994), Diana Hayden (1997), Yukta Mookhey (1999), Priyanka Chopra (2000), and Manushi Chhillar (2017).
