Opal Suchata Chuangsri, the newly crowned Miss World 2025, is still pinching herself. The 21-year-old from Thailand can’t believe she’s the first from her country to win the coveted title in over 72 years. As she basked in the glory of her victory, Opal spoke to the press about her incredible journey.
“I still can’t believe it’s true,” she said, her voice filled with emotion. “My people in Thailand have been waiting for this moment for so long, and I’m honored to bring the crown home.” Opal’s win is a testament to her hard work and dedication, and she’s grateful to her team for their unwavering support.
As she reflects on her time in India, Opal fondly remembers the people, the food, and the culture. “I don’t want to leave this place,” she confessed, smiling. “Everything here is amazing, and I’ve had an incredible experience.” Her trip to India has been a memorable one, and she’s cherishing every moment she spent here.
Opal’s passion project focuses on breast cancer awareness and women’s health. Now, as Miss World, she’s eager to support other initiatives and make a meaningful impact. “I don’t want to choose just one project,” she said. “I want to support them all, if possible.” Her dedication to empowering women and promoting health awareness is inspiring, and her new title will undoubtedly amplify her voice.
Meanwhile, India’s representative, Nandini Gupta, put up a stellar performance but narrowly missed making it to the top 8. Although India has won the Miss World title six times in the past, this year’s competition was fierce. As Opal celebrates her win, she’s aware of the responsibility that comes with her new role and is ready to make a difference.
