A Historic Victory at Miss World 2025
Thailand's Opal Suchata Chuangsri has etched her name in global pageant history by winning the 72nd Miss World crown. The grand event, held on May 31, 2025, at the HITEX Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad, India, saw 21-year-old Opal triumph over contestants from 107 countries—becoming the first-ever Thai woman to win this prestigious title.
Who Is Opal Suchata?
Hailing from the beautiful island of Phuket, Opal is a political science student at Thammasat University. She is not only academically brilliant but also a multilingual talent with an impressive track record in modeling and public speaking. Prior to this achievement, she was crowned Miss Universe Thailand 2024 and placed as the third runner-up at Miss Universe 2024. However, she later transitioned to Miss World due to contractual obligations.
“Opal For Her”: A Purpose with Power
At the heart of her Miss World campaign was her “Beauty With a Purpose” project, titled "Opal For Her." The initiative aims to spread awareness about breast health and early detection of breast diseases. It is deeply personal—Opal underwent surgery at just 16 years old, which inspired her mission to help other young women prioritize their health.
Pageant Night Highlights
The Miss World 2025 event was co-hosted by former Miss World Stephanie Del Valle and Indian presenter Sachiin Kumbhar. The night celebrated global beauty, intelligence, and social impact. Ethiopia’s Hasset Dereje Admassu finished as the first runner-up, while Poland and Martinique secured the third and fourth spots respectively.
India’s representative, Nandini Gupta, made it to the Top 20 but did not progress to the final stages. India, however, continues to be one of the most successful nations in the Miss World history, boasting past winners like Aishwarya Rai and Priyanka Chopra.
A Crown for Thailand, A Voice for Women
Opal’s win is more than a personal victory—it’s a powerful symbol for Thai women and aspiring beauty queens around the world. Her dedication, poise, and advocacy for women’s health issues have made her an inspiring global figure.
Conclusion
From Phuket to the world stage, Opal Suchata’s journey is a reminder that beauty with a purpose truly resonates across borders. Her historic win brings pride to Thailand and new energy to the global Miss World platform.
