Karibi-George said she wanted Nigeria to “speak without saying a word” through the gown, adding that every detail reflected the flag she had carried throughout her journey.

“As I take this final walk, I do so with immense pride — knowing that wherever I go, Nigeria goes with me,” she said.

She also unveiled a costume inspired by the “Amazon of the Mangrove,” which she said was a tribute to the strength of women, the richness of the Niger Delta and the relationship between its people and their environment.

“Tonight, I take the Miss World stage carrying a story that is deeply rooted in home,” Karibi-George said.
