Outshining 84 other formidable contestants, Ziri's blend of beauty, intelligence, and unwavering commitment to environmental advocacy secured her victory on the grand stage.
With a background in tourism studies and a flourishing career as a TV host, Ziri is no stranger to the pageant world. Her remarkable journey includes a notable achievement as the 2nd runner-up at the Miss Globe 2022 competition. Beyond her enchanting presence on stage, Ziri's heartfelt dedication to combating breast cancer has touched hearts far and wide.
Among the other standout contenders, Yllana Marie Aduan from the Philippines soared to claim the title of Miss Air, while Vietnam's Do Thi Lan Anh shimmered brightly as Miss Water. Thailand's Cora Blialt heated up the stage, earning the title of Miss Fire and securing the 3rd runner-up position.
Before the grand finale, Miss Earth Albania faced an unforeseen challenge when the evening gown she had purchased from a Filipino brand encountered customs complications, resulting in its inability to reach her on schedule. Faced with a time crunch, Drita Ziri’s representative sought assistance from designer Tuan. Visiting his store, they selected two designs for Drita Ziri, tasking Tuan with the urgent job of tailoring the dresses to perfectly suit the contestant within an extremely tight deadline. Remarkably, the chosen dress carries significant symbolism for Drita Ziri's crowning moment as Miss Earth 2023.
Vietnam, having previously hosted Miss Earth in 2010, once again showcased its splendor as the backdrop for this year's pageant. Ho Chi Minh City, brimming with its rich and vibrant culture, provided a captivating setting that left an indelible mark on the contestants and viewers alike.
