Krishnah Gravidez dazzles in Palawan peacock-inspired jumpsuit at Miss World 2025 Top Model Competition
Krishnah Marie Gravidez continues to flaunt Filipina beauty on the international stage as she dazzled in the Miss World 2025 Top Model Competition wearing an ensemble inspired by one of the country's iconic animals.
Designed by Filipino designer Rian Fernandez, the jumpsuit was inspired by the Palawan peacock and its "vibrant plumage and majestic presence" while celebrating the island's "rich biodiversity and natural splendor."
The outfit features blue and purple crystals and delicate ruffles that evoke a peacock's stunning tail.
"This design is bold, sophisticated, and undeniably runway-ready," Fernandez wrote about the look in a social media post.
Although Gravidez didn't win the Top Model competition, the Baguio City stunner is still thankful for wearing another masterpiece by Fernandez.
"Huge congratulations to all the ladies for owning the runway with such grace and power! Thank you so much [Trident, Hyderabad] for setting the stage beautifully!" she added.
The competition, on the other hand, named four continental winners, including Namibia's Selma Kamanya (Africa), Ireland's Jasmine Gerhardt (Europe), India's Nandini Gupta (Asia & Oceania), and Martinique's Aurélie Joachim (Americas & Caribbean), securing them a spot in the Miss World 2025 Quarterfinals.
Gravidez previously made it to the quarterfinals of the pageant's talent competition and was among the top 8 finalists for Asia and Oceania and top 2 overall in the Badminton Sports Challenge in the recently concluded Miss World Sports Challenge 2025 held at Gachibowli Stadium in Hyderabad, India.
Meanwhile, during the pageant's head-to-head challenge, the 24-year-old beauty pushed for creating safe spaces for children through "Color The World with Kindness," which was inspired by the hardships she experienced growing up.
The 72nd edition of the international pageant has now released its official format, where 10 outstanding contestants from each continental region—Africa, the Americas & Caribbean, Asia & Oceania, and Europe, including the fast-track winners—will advance to the quarterfinals out of the 108 delegates.
The judges will select a top five contender from each continental region. This set of beauty queens will be narrowed down to the top 2 to have one winner and one runner-up in every region.
To determine the pageant's top four finalists, the top two candidates from each region will compete to have one continental winner, who will also be the top 4 overall finalists. The judges will then vote to crown the 72nd Miss World title holder, followed by first, second, and third runners-up.
The first runner-up in the winner's continent will be promoted to a continental winner.
The coronation night will be held on May 31 at the HITEX Convention Center in Hyderabad, Telangana, India, where the reigning queen, Krystyna Pyszková of the Czech Republic, will crown her successor.
Should Gravidez win, she will be the second Filipina to be crowned Miss World after Megan Young in 2013.
