• Aishwarya Rai (1994): Crowned Miss World, Aishwarya wore a one-shouldered white gown adorned with embellishments and shiny gloves. Her chic top bun, statement earrings, and red lips set a high fashion standard in the 90s.

• Diana Hayden (1997): In a sleek strapless white gown during her crowning moment, Diana showcased elegance and poise. Minimal shimmer and clean lines accentuated her beauty, with subtle makeup and golden accessories adding to her charm.

• Yukta Mookhey (1999): Making a statement in a halter-neck light blue velvet gown, Yukta accessorized her outfit with a heavy necklace, bracelet, and subtle earrings. Her dramatic attire complemented her vivacious personality and confidence.

• Priyanka Chopra (2000): Dazzling in a pastel pink strapless high-slit gown, Priyanka added a regal touch with a stole. With a dark lip colour and stunning ornaments, she became a diva on the global stage.
