Four months after announcing the UAE would host Miss World 2023, organisers of the long-running beauty competition have finalised India as the host country for the pageant.
The 71st edition of Miss World is expected to take place in November this year in India.
India has hosted the Miss World pageant before, in 1996, in Bangalore, where Greece's Irene Skliva won the title.
India has won the prestigious title six times -Reita Faria (1966), Aishwarya Rai (1994), Diana Hayden (1997), Yukta Mookhey (1999), Priyanka Chopra (2000), and Manushi Chillar (2017).
Miss World 2022 was held in March last year in Puerto Rico, where Bielawska was crowned, beating runners-up Miss USA Shree Saini, and Ivory Coast's Olivia Yace, who was favourite to win.
Bielawska made history by becoming only the second Polish beauty queen to win the title.
