**Thailand’s Opal Suchata Crowned Miss World 2025 in Hyderabad**
**HYDERABAD, INDIA** – The 72nd Miss World pageant concluded in Hyderabad, Telangana, with Thailand’s Opal Suchata Chuangsri taking home the coveted crown. The event, which featured contestants from 108 countries, was held in India for the 2025 edition.
Indian hopeful Nandini Gupta, who made it to the top 20, saw her journey end before the top 8 announcement, disappointing fans across the nation who had hoped for India’s seventh Miss World title.
The judging panel was led by Chairwoman Julia Morley and included prominent figures like Bollywood actor Sonu Sood, entrepreneur Sudha Reddy, and former Miss World Manushi Chhillar, as well as actor Rana Daggubati.
The top four finalists included Maja Czaja of Poland, Aurelie Jo of Martinique, Hasset Dereje of Ethiopia, and Opal Suchata of Thailand. Dereje of Ethiopia was named the first runner-up, with Jo of Martinique placing third. Last year’s Miss World, Krystyna Pyszkova of the Czech Republic, crowned Suchata.
The evening was further enlivened by Bollywood performances from Jacqueline Fernandez and Ishaan Khattar. The event, however, was not without controversy, as Miss England withdrew from the pageant earlier raising various accusations.
The event saw the presence of high-profile Indian figures including Telangana Chief Minister Revanth Reddy and South Indian superstar Chiranjeevi.
