In a grand finale held in Hyderabad, Telangana, Opal Suchata from Thailand was crowned Miss World 2025.
The 72nd edition of the Miss World pageant saw Krystyna Pyszkova of the Czech Republic pass on her crown to Opal.
Opal wore a white gown decorated with opal-like florals. The dress symbolised healing, strength, and beauty.
She called it a tribute to the journey of “Opal For HER.”
“The shimmering white fabric and delicate opal-like florals reflect women who choose hope over fear,” Opal shared on Instagram. “The soft flare mirrors the ripple effect of compassion–how one heart can awaken many. Swarovski crystals sparkle like the inner light that guides us through darkness.”
The gown celebrated women who dare to dream despite hardships. “Just like the opal, I shine in my own light,” she added.
