The 71st Miss World 2024 in India has generated a lot of enthusiasm and anticipation because of the country's tradition of producing excellent beauty queens. The event had been highly anticipated by both competitors and spectators since it was more than just a beauty pageant—rather, it was a celebration of womanhood and diversity. Indian designer Archana Kochhar styled and designed all the outfits for the Miss World 2024 contestants using special silk fabric.
Bollywood actors Kriti Sanon and Pooja Hegde were among the 12-member panel of judges for the 71st Miss World competition. Other judges were the CEO of Miss World Organisation Julia Evelyn Morley CBE, Amruta Fadnavis, Sajid Nadiadwala, former Indian cricketer Harbhajan Singh, Rajat Sharma, Chairman and Editor-in-Chief of India TV, Jamil Said, and Vineet Jain. Former Miss World contestants were also there on the panel including Miss World 2017 Manushi Chhillar.
Rajat Sharma, one of the judges from the panel said, "The Czech contestants deserved the crown with their answers. It is sad that India could not reach the top four...Miss India's efforts will continue. Actually, 40 out of 40 contestants were deserving. It was really difficult to choose 12 out of 40 and then choose one out of 12."
"The beauty of the mind is also important. The way the team that had come from outside was treated... a big thank you to the organisers," he added.
The Miss World 2024 event had been co-hosted by former Miss World, Megan Young and renowned Indian film director, Karan Johar. Meanwhile, Indian singers Shaan, Neha Kakkar, and Tony Kakkar graced the stage with their spectacular performance.
