Receiving the crown from Miss World 2018, Vanessa Ponce de León out of Mexico, Miss Singh was trailed by Ophely Mezino of France and Suman Rao of India who were the first and second runners up respectively.

While Miss BVI Rikkiya A. R. Brathwaite did not capture the crown, she made the territory proud by securing the “Top Sports Woman” 2019 award in addition to coming in second in the Talent competition.

More significantly, she made the Top 40 cut, paving the way for future VI queens to aspire to make even greater strides on behalf of the territory with Chairman of the Miss World BVI Organisation, Mr Damian C. Grange having said he was “super impressed” with her representation this year.
