Opal Suchata Chuangsri Crowned Miss World 2025; India's Nandini Gupta Exits After Reaching Final 20

Introduction In a historic moment for Thailand, Opal Suchata Chuangsri was crowned Miss World 2025 at the 72nd edition of the prestigious beauty pageant held on May 31, 2025, at the HITEX Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad, India. Chuangsri's victory marks the first time a Thai contestant has won the Miss World title, making her a trailblazer in the country's pageant history. Representing Thailand, Chuangsri triumphed over 108 contestants from around the globe, showcasing her poise, intelligence, and advocacy for women's health. Her journey to the crown was not just about beauty but also about resilience and purpose. The Road to the Crown Born on September 20, 2003, in Phuket, Thailand, Suchata Chuangsri, known by her nickname 'Opal,' began her pageant journey at the age of 18. She first competed in Miss Universe Thailand 2022, where she finished as the third runner-up. In 2024, she clinched the title of Miss Universe Thailand and went on to represent her country at Miss Universe 2024, securing the third runner-up position. However, her path to the Miss World crown was not without controversy. In April 2025, the Miss Universe Organization withdrew her title as third runner-up due to her participation in another pageant before completing her 12-month reign. Despite this setback, Chuangsri's determination remained unwavering. At the Miss World 2025 pageant, Chuangsri impressed the judges with her advocacy project, 'OpalForHer,' which focuses on breast cancer awareness. This initiative is deeply personal to her, as she herself is a breast cancer survivor, having been diagnosed at the age of 16. Her resilience and commitment to women's health resonated with the judges, earning her the coveted title. The grand finale was co-hosted by Miss World 2016 Stephanie Del Valle and Sachiin Kumbhar, with performances by Bollywood stars Jacqueline Fernandez and Ishaan Khatter. The event was broadcasted live on London Live and streamed on SonyLIV, allowing a global audience to witness the historic moment. Nandini Gupta's Remarkable Journey Representing India at Miss World 2025 was Nandini Gupta, the reigning Femina Miss India World 2023. Born in 2003 in Kota, Rajasthan, Gupta is currently pursuing a degree in business management from Lala Lajpat Rai College in Mumbai. Her journey to the Miss India title was marked by dedication and hard work, culminating in her victory at the Femina Miss India 2023 pageant. At the Miss World 2025 pageant, Gupta showcased her intelligence, grace, and commitment to social causes. Although she did not make it to the top 8, her placement in the final 20 was a significant achievement, reflecting her potential and the bright future ahead of her in the world of pageantry. The Significance of the Event The 72nd Miss World pageant was held in India for the first time, making it a momentous occasion for the country. Telangana, with its rich cultural heritage and modern infrastructure, served as the perfect backdrop for the event. Hyderabad, the state's capital, hosted the grand finale, showcasing the city's hospitality and vibrant culture to a global audience. The event not only highlighted the beauty and talent of the contestants but also emphasized the importance of social causes, with many participants advocating for issues close to their hearts.
