Handout</div>The recently concluded 72nd edition of the annual and prestigious Miss World pageant, held at HITEX Exhibition Centre in Hyderabad, India, saw outgoing title holder from the Czech Republic, Krystyna Pyszkova, who stunned the audience with her Leo Almodal-designed gown during her farewell walk.According to the Filipino designer, the gown is dubbed as the &quot;Cusp gown&quot; reflecting their personalities -- Pyszkova and his.&quot;Both of us (Krystyna and Leo) have the same birthday, January 19. We are like &#x27;cusp twins.&#x27; We were born in between two signs -- Aquarius and Capricorn,&quot; Almodal said.He admitted that conceptualizing what Pyszkova wanted for her finale walk on the stage of Miss World 2025 last Saturday, May 31, was a bit of a challenge for him.&quot;She wanted a gown in royal blue, elegant, and that complements the Miss World crown. The challenge was how to blend gold and blue in a gown,&quot; he said.These two colors contrast with each other. It&#x27;s really like the cusp, as Almodal put it.<div><img src="https://od2-image-api.abs-cbn.com/prod/editorImage/17488621185931748862118013.jpeg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="The &#x27;cusped gown&#x27; by designer Leo Almodal. Handout"/>The &#x27;Cusp gown&#x27; by designer Leo Almodal. Handout</div>&quot;She wanted something that has a lighter silhouette. She was worried that she might not be able to move and walk with ease. It&#x27;s always the case when it&#x27;s heavily beaded with crystals. Instead of embroidery and too many crystals, I used a Japanese jusi fabric. There were four shades of blue that I used for its hems,&quot; the designer said.&quot;There was this dark blue, royal blue, then true blue (water blue) going to aqua blue.&quot;Pyszkova and AlmodL met at the national costume competition of Miss World Philippines last year at Okada Manila. The Czech queen wore the Cebuano-Masbateñon designer&#x27;s gown during that affair. <div><img src="https://od2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com/api/upload-raw/20250602110656/099587c9b1f6a7935ccf0f0c30fb0bd56fd0cf76a099662c63de245da146ed52.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="The first meeting of Miss World 2024 Krystyna Pyszkova and designer Leo Almodal."/>The first meeting of Miss World 2024 Krystyna Pyszkova and designer Leo Almodal.Handout</div>He added that to create the gown, Pyszkova sent him AI-generated designs and inspirations from Pinterest derived from his designs.&quot;Surprisingly, the ideas or the visions she wanted to have for the gown [really] looked like my designs,&quot; he said.At the coronation night of Miss World, Pyszkova was stunning in her golden Cusp gown adorned with 370,000 Swarovski crystals and weighed 15 kilograms. It took a total of 26 days (or 6,240 hours) to complete the whole ensemble with 30 seamstresses working on it, Almodal said.<div><img src="https://od2-workbench-api.abs-cbn.com/api/upload-raw/20250602110656/d0964b389274f44f9296a98c0571e60e962ea48b3a57df08a7dd4ca2a85150f7.jpg" class="fr-fic fr-dib" alt="Miss World 2024 Krystyna Pyszkova wearing the &#x27;cusped gown.&#x27;"/>Miss World 2024 Krystyna Pyszkova wearing the &#x27;Cusp gown.&#x27;Handout</div>Pyszkova crowned the newly-minted Miss World 2025, 21-year-old model Suchata Chuangsri from Phuket, Thailand.
