The global stage of beauty, purpose, and grace found its newest queen as Opal Suchata Chuangsri from Thailand was crowned Miss World 2025 in a grand finale held in Hyderabad, India. But who is this remarkable young woman who has not only brought glory to her country but also touched hearts around the world with her advocacy and charm? Here's a closer look at the inspiring journey of Miss World 2025.
Who is Opal Suchata Chuangsri?
Born on September 20, 2003, in Phuket, Thailand, Opal Suchata Chuangsri grew up surrounded by hospitality, raised in a family of hoteliers. Fluent in Thai, English, and Chinese, she is as articulate as she is elegant. Her educational path included Kajonkietsuksa School and Triam Udom Suksa School, where she honed her communication skills and cultural fluency.
Her entry into the pageant world was marked by consistent excellence. Opal was crowned Miss Universe Thailand 2024, a title that catapulted her onto the global platform of Miss Universe 2024, where she emerged as the third runner-up, a major feat for Thailand on the international stage.
What truly sets Opal apart is her unwavering dedication to advocacy. At just 16, she initiated "Opal For Her," a personal project aimed at promoting breast health awareness and the importance of early detection.
The campaign was born from her own experience undergoing surgery to remove a benign breast lump, an experience that shaped her mission to empower women through knowledge and healthcare.
Her advocacy earned her the “Voice for Change – Silver” award at Miss Universe 2024, further cementing her reputation as a queen with purpose.
