In a dazzling showcase of beauty, intellect, and environmental commitment, Albania’s own Drita Ziri emerged victorious at Miss Earth 2023, securing the coveted crown and leaving 84 other contestants in her wake.
Ziri, a dedicated tourism student and accomplished TV host, showcased not only her stunning beauty but also her passion for environmental causes. This triumph comes as no surprise given her previous success as the 2nd runner-up at Miss Globe 2022. Beyond the glamour of the stage, Ziri’s heartfelt dedication to fighting breast cancer resonated with audiences worldwide.
The pageant also celebrated outstanding representatives from other nations. Yllana Marie Aduan from the Philippines soared as Miss Air, while Vietnam’s Do Thi Lan Anh shimmered as Miss Water, and Thailand’s Cora Blialt sizzled as Miss Fire, securing the titles of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd runners-up, respectively.
Vietnam, no stranger to hosting Miss Earth, previously took on the role in 2010. In the 2023 edition, the pageant provided contestants with a glimpse into the rich cultural tapestry of Ho Chi Minh City, further enhancing the global appeal of Miss Earth. Drita Ziri’s win not only showcases her individual excellence but also highlights the international significance of the Miss Earth pageant in promoting environmental awareness and cultural exchange.
