Miss Diva 2025 Crowns New Winners at Grand Finale in Mumbai

The Miss Diva 2025 Grand Finale, presented by LIVA, unfolded as a landmark celebration of fashion, talent, and creative excellence, lighting up Mumbai with one of India’s most anticipated fashion and beauty showcases. The historic night brought together emerging beauty queens, fashion designers, and digital content creators, spotlighting the next generation shaping India’s style and influence landscape.

LIVA, the 100% natural-origin fabric brand from Birla Cellulose, returned as the presenting sponsor for the sixth consecutive year. Known for its fluidity, softness, and breathability, LIVA’s association with Miss Diva reflects a shared commitment to empowering modern women who embody freedom, versatility, and individuality.

Miss Diva 2025 was designed as a comprehensive talent discovery journey, drawing participation from aspirants across India in three categories—Beauty Queens, Fashion Designers, and Content Creators. The selection process progressed through online auditions, task-based evaluations, and screenings before narrowing down to the Top 8 finalists in each category. These finalists then underwent an intensive bootcamp that refined their skills and prepared them for the national stage, culminating in a grand finale that celebrated creativity shaped by mentorship and discipline.

The evening was hosted by Sachiin Kumbhaar and Pooja Bumrah, who kept the energy high throughout the show. One of the highlights was the Content Creator Finale Task Showcase, where finalists demonstrated storytelling prowess and digital originality, dressed in creations by designer Nandita Mahtani.

Craftsmanship took centre stage as the Top 8 Miss Diva Fashion Designer 2025 finalists presented their collections under the mentorship of designer Samant Chauhan. Their Bohemian Muse creations—crafted using LIVA fabrics—captured attention for their fluid silhouettes, artisanal detailing, and contemporary bohemian aesthetic.

The Beauty Queen segment followed with finalists appearing in resort wear by Mandira Wirk, before a high-energy performance by Manasi Scott electrified the venue. The finalists later returned in elegant gowns designed by Amarjit Bora for the much-anticipated Q&A round.

The evening concluded with the crowning of the winners—Avni Gupta as Miss Diva Supranational 2025 and Avani Kakekochhi Bhat as Miss Diva Cosmo 2025. Both winners will represent India at Miss Supranational 2026 and Miss Cosmo 2026, continuing the country’s strong presence on global beauty platforms.

Mr. Vadiraj Kulkarni, Business Head, Birla Cellulose, felicitated Aishwarya V, winner of Miss Diva Fashion Designer 2025, acknowledging her design excellence. Monica D’Souza, winner of Miss Diva Content Creator 2025, was felicitated by Manmohan Singh, Chief Marketing Officer, Birla Cellulose, for her creativity and individuality.

The distinguished jury panel featured Rakul Preet Singh; Miss Supranational 2025 Eduarda Braum; designers Nandita Mahtani and Mandira Wirk; former Miss Diva and mentor Adline Castelino; fashion icon and mentor Sahil Salathia; and professional pickleball athlete Megan Fudge. The event also saw notable attendees including Sangeeta Bijlani, Vindoo Dara Singh, Anu Malik, Meet Bros, and Sushrii Shreya.

More than a pageant, the Miss Diva 2025 Grand Finale stood as a tribute to India’s evolving creative ecosystem—where beauty intersects with artistry, and ambition finds a global platform.

The Grand Finale will air on 4 January 2026 at 8 PM on Zoom TV, with streaming available on Times Play and the Beauty Pageants India YouTube channel.
