Representing India at the 74th Miss Universe pageant in Thailand, Manika Vishwakarma from Rajasthan is making waves with her remarkable appearance. The 22-year-old has charmed audiences not only with her beauty but also her eloquent presence.

On November 17, she showcased a breathtaking sheer silver gown featuring hand-crafted metallic details. Designed by Nhà Mốt 9192, this gown boasts intricate craftsmanship and a modern silhouette, highlighted by its sculptural neckline, cascading crystals, high slit, and a flowing train—one of the standout ensembles from the pre-finale events. Complementing her look, Manika opted for nude heels, a fresh makeup style, glossy lips, bold eyeliner, and soft waves, adding an air of sophistication.

With the Miss Universe finale scheduled for November 21, 2025, she is positioning herself as a formidable contender. Besides her striking appearance, Manika has been lauded for her articulate and thoughtful responses during the competition.

When posed with the iconic question—“What is the essence of being a woman?”—originally answered by Sushmita Sen, she articulated a profound insight. Manika acknowledged the nurturing aspect typically associated with women but insisted that they should be recognized as whole beings, transcending conventional societal roles.

She described the essence of womanhood as the capacity to beautify, embrace, and elevate everything around them, referring to this quality as “infinite.” Her heartfelt and confident response has struck a chord with judges and audiences alike.

Manika’s unique combination of elegance, wisdom, and striking visuals continues to make her a prominent figure in discussions surrounding Miss Universe 2025.
