Helina Hewlett (first runner-up) at Miss World British Virgin Islands 2017 was appointed as the new representative of British Virgin Islands for Miss World 2017 and replaced Khephra Sylvester who will compete only in Miss Universe 2017 now, due to the conflicting dates of Miss World 2017 and Miss Universe 2017 pageants. Earlier, Khephra was to represent British Virgin Islands in both international pageants.
