Twenty years ago, Priyanka Chopra secured her place in history by clinching the prestigious Miss World title for India on November 30, 2000, at the tender age of 18. Since then, Chopra has evolved into a global icon, making an enduring impact on the entertainment world. Initially shining in the Miss India pageant, she stood among the top three, earning her ticket to compete on the international stage.

The grand finale, held at London's Millennium Dome, witnessed fierce competition from 95 beauty queens in the Miss World 2000 contest. Ultimately, Priyanka emerged victorious, with Miss Italy and Miss Turkey as first and second runners-up, respectively.

On the night of her crowning, Priyanka Chopra donned a breathtaking pink strapless gown, accentuated by a plunging neckline and a sheer matching dupatta. Her elegant ensemble was complemented by a crochet-printed choker necklace, marking the beginning of her journey to global stardom.

During the contest, Priyanka Chopra's notable answer to the question about the most successful woman alive—referencing Mother Teresa, despite a factual inaccuracy—left an indelible impression on the judges, leading to her winning the Miss World 2000 title.

Before Priyanka's landmark victory, India had seen triumphs in the Miss World pageant with Reita Faria Powell in 1966, Aishwarya Rai in 1994, Diana Hayden in 1997, and Yukta Mookhey in 1999. Priyanka's win in 2000 marked a significant milestone, and the legacy continued with Manushi Chillar securing the title in 2017.
