Rachel Gupta of India won Miss Grand International 2024 at the MGI Hall in Bangkok, Thailand on October 25, 2024 but she gave up the title on May 28, 2025. As the first runner-up, Christine Juliane “CJ” Hinkle Opiaza of the Philippines took over and was officially crowned on June 3, 2025 at the same venue.
Gupta turned 21 on January 23, 2025. Opiaza turned 27 on July 8, 2025.
