Miss World 2025: In a dazzling culmination of grace, beauty, and strength, Thailand’s Opal Suchata was crowned Miss World 2025 in a star-studded ceremony in Hyderabad, Telangana. The grand finale of the 72nd edition of the Miss World pageant saw reigning queen Krystyna Pyszkova from the Czech Republic pass on her crown to the new titleholder. Wearing a gown that symbolised both healing and strength, Opal walked across the stage in a delicate white fabric adorned with opal-like floral.
Opal Suchata shared her feelings after winning the title. The 72nd edition of the global beauty pageant was a star-studded event and marked another proud moment for Thailand, as this was the country’s first-ever Miss World crown.
Opal Suchata Calls The Winning Moment ‘Surreal’
Speaking to ANI after her win, Opal expressed a mix of joy and disbelief, calling the moment “surreal.” She was overwhelmed with emotion, especially because her country had waited over seven decades for this achievement.
“I was very excited, especially when they were announcing all the girls and their placements, and when I was announced the winner, I still couldn’t believe it. I was very confused because it was so unreal, because my people and I’ve been waiting for the first crown of Miss World for more than 72 years. It is such an honour to be able to bring back home the first crown. The moment I was crowned, all I thought about was the faces of my family, my people, my team and everyone. I cannot wait to really bring this crown back to Thailand…,” Suchata told ANI.
Highlights Commitment To ‘Beauty With A Purpose’
She also highlighted her ongoing commitment to her ‘Beauty with a Purpose’ cause.
“I would love to continue on my purpose, which is breast cancer. I am glad that being here in Miss World, a lot of people know more about my Beauty with a Purpose project and have more awareness of the cause that I’m setting up for. I believe that with the Miss World title, in the future, I could definitely make more impact and also help other projects that are in need,” she added.
Reflecting on her win, she added, “Now, I would like to define Miss World as my success because I just received it, and it’s the highest and most honourable success I’ve ever had in my life. But if I could define another way of success. I would say that to live your life and to create a life that’s better for people around you as well. That’s also the success of being alive.”
She described the gown as a tribute to the powerful journey of “Opal For HER,” representing the gem’s inherent qualities of beauty, resilience, and transformation.
“The shimmering white fabric and delicate opal-like floral reflect women who choose hope over fear,” Opal shared on her Instagram handle, adding, “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.”
