A Celebration of Diversity and Purpose
The competition follows a tiered selection process. Contestants are divided into groups representing the Americas and Caribbean, Africa, Europe, and Asia and Oceania. From each group, the top 10 semifinalists will advance, totaling 40 quarterfinalists.
Several participants secured early advancement by winning fast-track challenges in categories such as Head to Head Challenge, Top Model, Beauty With a Purpose, Multimedia, Sports, and Talent. Notable fast-track winners include Nandini Gupta of India (Top Model), Millie-Mae Adams of Wales (Head to Head and Beauty With a Purpose), and Monica Kezia Sembiring from Indonesia (Talent and Beauty With a Purpose).
From the 40 quarterfinalists, the judging panel will select a Top 5, then narrow down to a Top 2 and finally choose four continental winners. These finalists will answer a final question before the outgoing Miss World, Krystyna Pyszková of the Czech Republic, crowns her successor.
This year’s event highlights the combination of beauty, talent, and humanitarian efforts, reflecting Miss World's ongoing commitment to celebrating purpose and diversity on a global stage.
