What Happens Before the Big Night?
Before the final show where the winner is crowned, the contestants go through a bunch of fun but important challenges. These help the judges see who truly has what it takes to be Miss World.
Here’s a quick breakdown of what they’ll be doing:
- Talent Challenge (May 22): This is where contestants show off their special talents like singing, dancing, painting, or even playing instruments. It’s happening at a cool spot called Shilpakala Vedika.
- Head-to-Head Challenge (May 23): Here, the girls talk about real-world issues and ideas at the Indian School of Business. It’s more like a chat session where they get to share what they think and believe in.
- Top Model Challenge (May 24): Time to walk the runway. The girls will strut their stuff in stylish outfits at HITEX. There’ll also be a jewellery and pearl fashion show the next day.
- Beauty With a Purpose (May 26): This is a big one. The contestants present their charity projects, things they’re passionate about and how they’re helping their communities. It’s not just about looking good, it’s about doing good too.
