Krystyna Pyszkova of the Czech Republic has won the 71st Miss World beauty pageant.
Pyszkova was crowned by Karolina Bielawska, the reigning Miss World from Poland, in India on Saturday.
It marks the second time a representative from the Czech Republic has clinched the crown, following Tatana Kucharova’s win in 2006.
Pyszkova is pursuing separate degrees in law and business administration.
She is the founder of the Krystyna Pyszko Foundation.
The model is fluent in English, Polish, Slovak, and German languages.
She is an advocate for sustainable development through education.
During the pageant, Pyszkova’s ‘Beauty With A Purpose’ project emphasised “quality education for children”.
She pledged to utilise her platform as Miss World to amplify awareness for this cause.
“So far, we have helped 320 children. Through the Miss World platform, I will be able to help as many children as possible,” she said.
“The Miss World sisterhood is such an empowering community. I think we will be sharing this moment forever because we experienced so many things.
“We experienced this incredible country, India, together. I will be happy to come back soon.”
At the pageant, Miss Lebanon Yasmina Zaytoun was named as the first runner-up.
Aché Abrahams of Trinidad and Tobago became the second runner-up.
Both were followed by Lesego Chombo of Botswana who is the third runner-up.
