The 70th edition of the event was held Wednesday evening at the Coca-Cola Music Hall in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

Poland’s Karolina Bielawska has been crowned Miss Universe for the year 2021, beating contestants from 96 other countries, including Miss India Manasa Varanasi, who placed 11th in the international beauty pageant. The 70th edition of the event was held Wednesday evening at the Coca-Cola Music Hall in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

According to the official Miss World website, Bielawska was crowned by her predecessor Toni-Ann Singh of Jamaica, who won the pageant in 2020.” When I heard my name I was shocked, I still can’t believe it. I am honored to wear the Miss World crown and can’t wait to get to work. I will remember this great chapter in Puerto Rico for the rest of my life,” Bielawska said after being crowned Miss World 2021. This is Poland’s second Miss World title. Aneta Kreglicka won the coveted 1989 election for the country. Miss USA Shree Saini, an Indian-American, took first in second place, followed by Olivia Yace from Ivory Coast.

The official Instagram account of Femina Miss India expressed its gratitude to Varanasi, an engineer from Telangana, for representing the country. “You may not have won the crown, but you have won millions of hearts, @manasa5varanasi.” You have made us extremely proud with your beautiful representation of our nation and we can’t wait to welcome you back home,” the post read shared on Thursday.

The Miss World pageant was originally scheduled to take place on December 16, 2021 at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum, but was moved after Varanasi and 16 others tested COVID-19 positive. The show has been broadcast to more than 100 countries worldwide.
