When Aishwarya Rai walked as reigning Miss World once last time before crowning next winner. Watch

Aishwarya Rai was crowned Miss World in 1994, and she returned to the stage a year later to crown her successor, Jacqueline Aguilera, at the 1995 event. A resurfaced video of Aishwarya’s final walk in her Miss World crown has captivated fans, who admire the grace and beauty she brought to the stage.

In the video, Aishwarya appears with a radiant smile, wearing a golden brown lehenga paired with a matching blouse, and a dupatta draped over her right arm. She waves to the audience with her left hand, walking confidently in her Miss World crown.

Fans reacted enthusiastically to the video, with one commenting, “She is looking like a Goddess!” Another wrote, “Extremely beautiful!” and others praised her grace and beauty.

Aishwarya clinched the Miss World title in 1994 with her response to a question about the qualities a titleholder must embody. She said, “The Miss Worlds that we have had up to date have been proof enough that they have had compassion. Compassion for the underprivileged, and not only for the people who have status and stature. We have had people who can look beyond the barriers that man has set up—of nationalities and color. We have to look beyond those and that would make a true Miss World. A true person, a real person.”

Recently, Aishwarya attended the Cannes Film Festival as the global ambassador of L'Oreal. Her dramatic looks, including a monochrome gown with gold detailing and a blue and silver gown, created a stir on social media.
