HYDERABAD, May 31, 2025 –Opal Suchata Chuangsri, a 22-year-old trilingual beauty queen from Thailand, was crowned Miss World 2025 on Saturday at the HITEX Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad, marking a historic win for her nation.

Born on March 20, 2003, in Phuket, Thailand, Opal grew up in a family of hoteliers, immersed in the world of hospitality. A Political Science major at Thammasat University with a focus on International Relations, she is a poised, purpose-driven individual whose journey to the crown has captivated fans worldwide.

Background and Education

The Economic Times describes Opal as “a true global citizen,” noting her trilingual fluency in Thai, English, and Chinese, honed during her time at Triam Udom Suksa School in Bangkok, where she majored in Chinese under the Arts program. “Opal’s academic journey began at the prestigious Triam Udom Suksa School, where she developed her passion for languages and international culture,” the outlet reports, adding that her current studies at Thammasat University position her “on a fitting path for someone destined for both the world stage and world change.”

Pageantry Journey Opal’s path to Miss World 2025 began with her crowning as Miss World Thailand 2025 on April 22, 2025, in Bangkok, a title conferred by Tero Entertainment and TPN Global. She previously made waves in the pageant world, winning Miss Universe Thailand 2024 and placing as third runner-up at Miss Universe 2024 in Mexico, though the Miss Universe Organization later withdrew that title due to a contractual breach involving her participation in another pageant before completing her reign.

Pageant Circle highlighted her resolve, quoting her speech: “I am deeply honoured to be standing here as your new Miss World Thailand. Carrying not only the crown and the sash, I carry with me the hopes and the spirit of my people, my nation.”

Advocacy and Impact

Opal’s commitment to women’s health has drawn widespread praise. At 16, she underwent surgery to remove a benign breast lump, inspiring her “Opal For Her” campaign, which focuses on breast health awareness and early detection. Experts admire her purpose-driven approach, with Dr. Caryna Turrell, Miss England 2014 and a Miss World 2025 judge, implicitly endorsing her win alongside peers like Julia Morley, chairperson of the Miss World Organisation, for embodying “Beauty With a Purpose.”

Crowning Moment and Style Crowned by outgoing Miss World 2024 Krystyna Pyszková, Opal topped a field of 108 contestants, with Ethiopia’s Hasset Dereje Admassu as first runner-up. The Washington Post called the Hyderabad contest “glittering,” while Hindustan Times described Opal’s custom-designed white gown in the costume round, adorned with opal-like florals and Swarovski crystals, as symbolizing “healing and strength.”

Opal herself told Instagram, “The shimmering white fabric and delicate opal-like florals reflect women who choose hope over fear. The soft flare mirrors the ripple effect of compassion—how one heart can awaken many.”

Marca hailed her as “a new queen,” noting her role as a “global ambassador for the Miss World Organization” amid heightened pageant attention.

Her unique talents—playing the ukulele backward—and love for her 16 cats and five dogs endear her to fans.
