Hyderabad (Telangana) [India], May 4 (ANI): With the Miss World 2025 pageant just around the corner, excitement is building as contestants from across the world begin to arrive in Hyderabad.
Among the first to land were Jessica Scandiuzzi Pedroso of Brazil and Emma Deanna Cathryn Morrison of Canada.
Both beauty queens were warmly welcomed by Telangana state government officials at Rajiv Gandhi International Airport (RGIA) with the traditional hospitality the region is known for.
The 72nd edition of the Miss World competition, set to take place on May 31, 2025, at the HITEX Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad, is already generating tremendous buzz.
The pageant, which will feature contestants from more than 100 countries, marks the second consecutive year that India will host the prestigious event.
Krystyna Pyszkova of the Czech Republic, the reigning Miss World, will crown her successor at the culmination of the grand event.
India's representative at Miss World 2025, Femina Miss India World 2023, Nandini Gupta, has already begun her rigorous preparations for the global stage.
