Namaste! Silvia Dörre Sánchez, crowned Miss World Germany 2025, exemplifies a truly global spirit. Her journey is one of resilience, ambition, and a deep love for language and culture. From international beauty pageants to academic excellence, Silvia’s story is anything but ordinary.

“I started with beauty pageants just one or two years ago, and I really loved it,” Silvia reflects. “I love the experience, the way different women come together, each talented in their own areas, and how we all learn from each other.” For her, it’s the friendships and cultural exchange that make this journey so meaningful. “That’s why I continued with beauty pageants, and now I’m here at Miss World. It has always been my dream, so I’m really happy that it’s happening.”

Beyond the crown, Silvia is a passionate language teacher and lifelong learner. Fluent in German, Spanish, English, French, Italian, Portuguese, and Hindi, she has also studied Urdu, Chinese, Thai, Vietnamese, Arabic, Burmese, Indonesian, and a little Turkish. “I’ve learned 15 languages and speak six fluently,” she explains, “but I love learning new languages—especially mastering their alphabets. It’s like opening the door to a whole new world.”

Silvia teaches online, which gives her the freedom to live and work from anywhere. “I travel a lot, live in different countries, and it’s very nice. You can just move around and get to know different cultures—and that’s basically what I do.”

Her love for language goes beyond communication. “Language is a good way of showing respect to the place where you are. I know a little Hindi, and Indians really appreciate that. It shows that you value the culture and people.”

Her passion for Indian culture was sparked by Bollywood. “I started learning Hindi because I love Indian movies and music,” she shares. “Priyanka Chopra is my favourite actress and Shah Rukh Khan is my favourite male star. I’ve seen so many of their films. Someday, I’d love to work in Bollywood if my Hindi gets good enough!”

Silvia has already visited India twice this year. “My sister and I explored Delhi, the Taj Mahal in Agra, Rajasthan, and Bombay. Now I’m in Hyderabad. I’ve always wanted to come to India since I was 18, and now it’s finally happening—twice in one year!”

Her proudest moment, Silvia says, was receiving a scholarship to study International Cultural and Business at one of Germany’s most prestigious universities. “It felt like a major turning point in my life,” she says with a smile.

Silvia’s career has been as diverse as her travels—she has worked as a DJ, flight attendant, model, and in a tech startup. Currently, she teaches languages online, but she dreams of going further. “One day, I would love to become a UN diplomat or a UNICEF social worker. That would be the ultimate fulfillment of my desire to help and connect with people across cultures.”

Describing herself as “a very friendly and curious woman who loves to learn new things and meet new people,” Silvia has lived in nine countries—each place adding a new layer to her rich international experience.

Her perspective on woman empowerment is deeply thoughtful. “For me, it means that every woman should choose what she wants to do in life. We don’t have to fit into a certain box. Whether you want kids or not, whether you choose to fully cover or wear small clothes—it should be your decision. That’s empowerment.”

To young girls aspiring to join beauty pageants, Silvia offers heartfelt advice: “Be yourself and focus on what makes you unique. There are so many accomplished, beautiful girls around you—it’s easy to compare, but authenticity always shines through. That’s the true beauty.” Silvia lives by her personal motto: “Don’t let the fear kill your smile.”

With unwavering optimism and a global mindset, Silvia Dörre Sánchez continues to inspire by simply being herself—a multilingual trailblazer, cultural ambassador, and a beacon of empowered grace.
