The event took place at the Hitex Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad, India, and was celebrated with great splendour.
She was officially crowned by the 2024 winner, Ms Krystyna Pyszkova of the Czech Republic.
The competition's final rankings saw Ms Hasset Dereje Admassu of Ethiopia as the first runner-up, Ms Maja Klajda of Poland as the second runner-up, and Ms Aurelie Joachim of Martinique as the third runner-up.
Miss World 2025 commenced with a dazzling parade featuring contestants in their national costumes, followed by an elegant showcase where each participant took the stage individually in breathtaking evening gowns, organised by continent.
The competition, in its 72nd edition, then moved on to the announcement of the top 40 contestants, selected from 108 countries.
These finalists were divided into four continental groups, with 10 representatives from each: the Americas and the Caribbean, Africa, Europe, as well as Asia and Oceania.
Some of the contestants advanced automatically to the top 40 through fast-track events.
Among them was Ms Suchata, who secured first place in the Asia and Oceania Multimedia Challenge.
