Hailing from Sarawak, Larissa also made the country proud by placing in the Top 5 Best Talent category, the Top 5 Best Designer category, the Top 32 Top Model category and the Top 10 Multimedia category. She even managed to beat Miss Guadeloupe in the Head to Head Challenge.
Following the competition, Larissa shared a video on Instagram, thanking all her fans for their constant support.
She captioned the post, "To my dear country, Let’s not be upset, but rejoice. There was not one moment last night when I was down because everyone who got through the next round are also as deserving. I’m so proud to have Malaysia’s name being announced multiple times throughout this competition. I’m so happy that we’re seen, we’re known - and I’m just so grateful that I have this opportunity be the representative of Malaysia. Being here is so much more than just winning. I’ve brought people together, I’ve discovered myself even more, I’ve made future plans to collaborate with other contestants, I’ve made people realise what Miss World is actually all about, and a lot more. This has been one of the best experiences in my life, and I just can’t wait to be home to continue my duties of Miss World Malaysia 2018. Let’s do more for our country, for our people. Thank you once again, and I love you."
