Opal of the World: Thailand’s Opal Suchata Crowned Miss World 2025 in Hyderabad

In a breathtaking celebration of beauty, grace, and resilience, Thailand’s Opal Suchata was crowned Miss World 2025 at a glittering finale held in Hyderabad, Telangana. The majestic evening marked the 72nd edition of the Miss World pageant, bringing the global spotlight to India once again after last year’s successful event in Mumbai.

The reigning queen, Krystyna Pyszkova of the Czech Republic, gracefully passed the crown to her successor, closing a remarkable chapter and ushering in a new era under Opal’s reign.

A Gown That Spoke Volumes

Draped in a mesmerising white gown adorned with delicate opal-inspired florals and shimmering Swarovski crystals, Opal embodied a living metaphor of beauty and strength. She described the dress as a tribute to her campaign "Opal For HER", a movement dedicated to empowering women through compassion and resilience.

“The soft flare mirrors the ripple effect of kindness—how one heart can awaken many,” she shared on Instagram. “Just like the opal, I shine in my own light.”

The gown was not merely fashion—it was a story, a statement, and a symbol of transformation, echoing the values Miss World has long championed.
