Priyanka Chopra was crowned Miss World on November 30, 2000, at the age of 18, in London. She was the fifth Indian woman to win the Miss World title.
Her victory in the Miss India beauty pageant paved the way for her to represent India in the Miss World beauty pageant, where she emerged victorious, securing both the title and the prestigious crown.

During the Miss World 2000 finale, Priyanka was asked to name a successful woman living today and explain her reasons for choosing her.
Her response, in which she spoke about Mother Teresa and why she is one of the most successful women of all time, garnered widespread appreciation.
While Mother Teresa passed away in 1997, the judges didn’t seem to mind that Chopra answered incorrectly.

During her acceptance speech at the Millennium Dome in London, Priyanka expressed her commitment to using her victory as a platform to inspire positive change in people’s thoughts and actions. She received the coveted crown and a £70,000 prize from Yukta Mookhey, the previous year’s winner.
“I admire her from the bottom of my heart for being so passionate and kind … giving up her life to put smiles on people’s faces,” Chopra said about Mother Teresa.
In August 2016, Priyanka Chopra took a break from filming the second season of Quantico to support Usher at the premiere of the 2016 American biographical sports film Hands of Stone.

She selected a little black dress from BCBG Max Azria, which featured a keyhole cutout, long sleeves, and a thigh-grazing hemline.
It looked modest in the front but sexy in the back, thanks to the lace-trimmed open-back design.
