India's Manushi Chhillar won the Miss World title in 2017, and now all eyes will be on Nikita Porwal. Nikita, who hails from Madhya Pradesh, rose to prominence after winning the Femina Miss India World crown in 2024. Before entering the world of beauty pageants, she began her career as a television anchor and later worked in theatre. Nikita travelled to Vietnam earlier this month to prepare for the prestigious international pageant, where she has represented India through various events and appearances. For the Miss World Dances of the World event, Nikita made a striking appearance in a regal black-and-gold ensemble. She wore a sculpted blouse adorned with delicate gold body chains, paired with a multicoloured draped skirt featuring a thigh-high slit. She completed the look with traditional gold jewellery, including a maang tikka, oversized earrings, stacked bangles, armlets, a waist chain and anklets. Her hair was styled in a long braid embellished with gold ornaments. https://www.instagram.com/p/Dc1A1vQiR8_/?hl=en&img_index=1 Among the contestants competing alongside Indias Nikita Porwal are Olivija Sponovskis of Australia, Samanzar Sayeed of Bangladesh, Gabriela Botelho of Brazil, Indira Ampiot of France, Audrey Bianca Callista of Indonesia, Yui Kawana of Japan, Taanusiya Chetty of Malaysia, Luna Luitel of Nepal, Asia Rose Simpson of the Philippines and Grace Richardson of England.
