Pyszková was born 19 January 1999 in Třinec,[3] where she was educated at Gymnázium Třinec.[4][5] She grew up in the nearby village of Návsí, as a Silesian Goral member of the Polish minority located in Trans-Olza.[6] Pyszková later relocated to Prague to further her education.[1] Prior to winning Miss Czech Republic, Pyszková was studying law at Charles University in Prague, and management at MCI Management Center Innsbruck in Innsbruck.[1][7][8]
Pyszková began her career in pageantry in 2022, when she won Miss Czech Republic 2022,[7] held on 7 May 2022. As the winner, she went on to represent the Czech Republic at Miss World 2023.[1][9]
Miss World was originally scheduled to be held in the United Arab Emirates.[10][11] The pageant was later moved to India, and set to be held on 16 December 2023 in Delhi.[12][13] It was later postponed to 2 March 2024 due to the 2023 elections in India, and later postponed once again to 9 March 2024 in Mumbai.[14][15] Miss World began in New Delhi in February 2024 with its pre-pageant challenges, with Pyszková going on to place as a top four finalist for Europe in the top model challenge and as a top 10 finalist in the Beauty with a Purpose Challenge.[16][17]
The final show of the pageant was held in Mumbai on 9 March, where Pyszková advanced as one of the seven finalists for Europe in the top 40; she later advanced as one of the three finalists for Europe in the top 12, two finalists for Europe in the top eight, and achieved the highest score from Europe in the top four.[18] After the announcement of the top four, Pyszková was later crowned the winner.[19][18] With her win, Pyszková became the second woman representing the Czech Republic to win Miss World, following Taťána Kuchařová who had been crowned Miss World 2006.[20]
In her capacity as Miss World, Pyszková has traveled to India, Mauritius, and other countries.[21][22]
