Krystyna Pyszková of the Czech Republic was crowned Miss World at a glamorous contest held in Mumbai, India, on Saturday night. Yasmina Zaytoun of Lebanon was the first runner-up among the 112 contestants.
"Being crowned Miss World is a dream come true. I am deeply honored to represent my country and the values of 'beauty with a purpose' on a global platform," Pyszková said.
The event, held at the Jio World Convention Center, showcased India's rich culture, traditions, heritage, arts, crafts, and textiles to a global audience. Participants wore elaborate embroidered outfits and danced to popular Bollywood songs.
Pyszková, after receiving the crown from the reigning Miss World, Karoline Bielawska of Poland, waved to the crowd and hugged fellow contestants.
India's Sini Shetty reached the final eight but did not win. India has a history of success at Miss World, with six winners including Reita Faria (1966), Aishwarya Rai (1994), Diana Hayden (1997), Yukta Mookhey (1999), Priyanka Chopra (2000), and Manushi Chillar (2017).
The 71st Miss World beauty pageant was hosted by Bollywood filmmaker Karan Johar and Miss World 2013 Megan Young from the Philippines.
