In a grand spectacle that unfolded in Mumbai, Krystyna Pyszková ascended to the pinnacle of glory as the crowned Miss World of 2024 on a momentous Saturday. Marking a return to India after a hiatus of 28 years, the 71st Miss World pageant witnessed the participation of contenders hailing from a staggering 110 nations.
Krystyna engaged in a fierce contest with her fellow beauty monarchs, emerging triumphant and claiming the highly sought-after title. Karolina Bielawska of Poland, the reigning Miss World of 2022, bestowed upon Krystyna the regal honor in a star-studded affair. Originating from the Czech Republic, the 24-year-old luminary now reigns supreme.
Beyond the realms of her Miss World triumph, Krystyna’s journey in the realm of beauty pageantry has been adorned with exceptional feats. In the Top 4 competition, she clinched the Miss Europe title, standing alongside Yasmin Azaytoun of Lebanon (Miss Asia and Oceania), Aché Abrahams of Trinidad and Tobago (Miss America), and Lesego Chombo of Botswana (Miss Africa). Additionally, she was lauded with the Best Fashion Designer Award – Europe, donning an exquisite gown in shades of red and black that eloquently echoed the essence of her cultural heritage.
Simultaneously, Pyszková is immersed in the pursuit of dual degrees in law and business administration. An international modeling career graces her portfolio, alongside her role as the founder of the Krystyna Pyszko Foundation. According to the Miss World Organisation, her most gratifying moment involved the establishment of an English school catering to underprivileged children in Tanzania. A maestro of the transverse flute and violin, Krystyna harbors a profound affinity for music and art, having spent nine years honing her skills in an art academy.
Under the banner of her Beauty With A Purpose initiative, Krystyna directed her efforts towards Tanzania, where she inaugurated a school and volunteered tirelessly to champion quality education for children. Driven by her ardor for education, she decided to anchor her foundation in the Czech Republic, channeling her energies into diverse educational programs for children, the elderly, and those grappling with mental challenges.
The Jio World Convention Centre in BKC played host to the 71st Miss World Pageant, with the charismatic duo of Bollywood director Karan Johar and former Miss World Megan Young gracing the stage as co-hosts. The event witnessed electrifying performances by Shaan, Tony, and Neha Kakkar, adding an extra layer of glamour to this enthralling spectacle.
