Bangkok, November 20: Miss Universe India Manika Vishwakarma delivered one of the most memorable moments of the Miss Universe 2025 preliminary competition as she walked the swimsuit runway in a striking electric-blue one-piece. Her effortless confidence, sculpted styling and commanding stage presence instantly made her one of the most talked-about delegates of the evening.
A High-Fashion Moment on the Global Stage
In the swimsuit segment, Manika appeared in a deep V-neck, high-cut one-piece swimsuit a look that combined boldness with refined elegance. The form-fitting silhouette, open-back design and clean lines highlighted both athletic poise and modern pageant fashion.
Her styling was kept glamorous yet polished: soft voluminous curls, bronzed skin, defined eyes and a subtle nude gloss. From her first step to her final pose, she walked with sharp precision and undeniable stage command.
Instagram Caption Captures the Mood
Manika later posted these images on Instagram, writing:
Manika steps out with fearless elegance. She shines in the swimsuit round with an amazing walk that turns the stage electric.”
Within minutes, the post drew thousands of reactions, with fans calling her walk “powerful”, “queen energy”, and “one of the best swimsuit moments from India in recent years.”
Why Her Prelims Walk Stands Out
The swimsuit round, often judged for composure, fitness and stage personality, became Manika’s strongest showing yet. Her confident movements, steady rhythm and signature smile reflected both preparation and natural charisma.
Fashion commentators also pointed out that her choice of a one-piece instead of the usual bikini added a refreshing, contemporary edge to the segment.
Fans Declare Her a Top Contender
Across Instagram and X, hashtags linked to Manika, India and Miss Universe began trending soon after her walk aired. Many pageant analysts noted that her prelims performance has firmly positioned her among the frontrunners ahead of the final.
Heading Into the Finale
The Miss Universe 2025 Grand Finale will take place in Bangkok on 21 November, where Manika will compete against contestants from more than 130 nations. With her strong preliminary performance and rapidly rising global support, all eyes will be on India’s delegate as she enters the final round.
