Hyderabad-based philanthropist and business leader Sudha Reddy proudly showcased the city's renowned warmth and rich cultural tapestry by hosting the 108 international delegates of Miss World 2025, along with Julia Morley CBE, Chairman and CEO of the Miss World Organization, at her Jubilee Hills residence, Mon Amour Palais. The exclusive ‘Beauty With A Purpose Gala’ marked a significant occasion for Telangana, highlighting Hyderabad as a premier destination capable of hosting prestigious international events.
The event curated by Khushi Singh of Percept Limited was a meticulously orchestrated homage to the region. The ‘Midnight Pearls’ theme was a direct and elegant tribute to Hyderabad’s cherished identity as the ‘City Of Pearls’. Delicate strands of pearls were gracefully woven throughout the opulent décor of Mon Amour Palais, adorning stairways and statues, celebrating a key element of the city's rich legacy and offering a subtle regional homage to the international guests.
Guests were treated to an elaborate grazing table presenting a modern interpretation of India's diverse culinary landscape, followed by a meticulously curated menu that celebrated the dynamic evolution of both local and national cuisine. This gastronomic journey reflected the cosmopolitan spirit of Hyderabad, artfully blending progressive Indian dishes with nuanced international influences, and presenting reimagined Indian classics alongside delicate Asian infusions and cherished European staples.

Throughout the evening, the Miss World delegates experienced Sudha Reddy’s warm hospitality and a thoughtfully arranged cultural program, leaving a lasting impression of cross-cultural exchange and international goodwill. The event offered the delegates a deeper appreciation for Indian traditions and a renewed dedication to fostering peace and global unity.
