Krishnah Gravidez ready to shine in Miss World 2025
Manila Bulletin
|May 9, 2025
As she settles into Telangana, India for the 72nd edition of the Miss World pageant, 24-year-old Krishnah Marie Gravidez— the Philippines' official candidate— brings with her not just gowns and grit, but invaluable advice from two of the country’s top beauty queens: Megan Young, the only Filipina to win the Miss World crown in 2013, and Miss Universe Philippines 2020 Rabiya Mateo.
Krishnah fondly recalled how starstruck she felt meeting Megan for the first time shortly after being crowned Miss World Philippines 2024. She was so excited that she prepared a list of questions, particularly about the pageant’s fast-track challenges.
"Overall, she told me: don't be afraid to be yourself. Don't be afraid to show who you truly are. Sometimes people have a tendency to box you and cage you to a certain standard or in a certain prototype. Don't be afraid to embrace yourself, to embrace who you are. And you should never forget your values," Krishnah revealed.
As for Rabiya, Krishnah admitted that the Kapuso actress has been one of her greatest inspirations in her pageant journey.
