Noting that India is proud of her, it further added, Nikita, you carried India with grace, conviction and heart on one of the worlds biggest stages. From every moment you gave us to every cheer you brought home thank you for representing us so beautifully.

For the finale, Nikita Porwal took to the Miss World stage in a breathtaking outfit featuring a sculpted corset adorned with intricate floral embroidery and delicate hand embellishment, with blooms cascading organically across the silhouette.

Thousands of meticulously placed beads and floral details create a soft, luminous texture, while the sheer embellished sleeves lend an almost ethereal delicacy to the look. From its sculpted form, the gown flows into a dramatic mermaid silhouette and layers of weightless Italian tulle, creating movement with every step and giving the entire creation a dreamlike quality, Miss India stated.

At the finale, she also offered a beautiful tribute to Vietnam in the traditional Vietnamese Ao Dai, celebrating the host nations elegance and cultural heritage.
