Miss Grand International Winners: Complete list of the beauty pageant winners
The representative of India, Rachel Gupta, was the winner of the 2024 pageant.
Rachel Gupta from India has claimed the prestigious Miss Grand International crown in Bangkok, Thailand. Her victory came after a closely contested final, where she emerged as the winner over the Philippines’ Christine Juliane Opiaza, who took the runner-up spot, and Thae Su Nyein from Myanmar, who finished third.
The crown was passed to Gupta by last year’s winner, Luciana Fuster from Peru, who had won the 2023 pageant in Vietnam. This win is a remarkable achievement for India and adds to the country’s legacy in international beauty pageants.
Standing at 1.78 meters, Rachel Gupta, a professional model from Punjab in northwest India, has taken the Miss Grand International crown, showcasing her talent on one of the world’s biggest stages. This year’s competition brought together 69 contestants from across the globe, with the final 10 hailing from Spain, Peru, Brazil, the Dominican Republic, France, Indonesia, Myanmar, the United Kingdom, India, and the Philippines, making for a diverse and competitive field.
Initially planned for Cambodia, the event was relocated last minute to Bangkok due to unexpected organizational challenges. Fittingly, the pageant returned to its birthplace in Thailand, where it was founded 11 years ago, adding a nostalgic touch to this year’s edition.
