MISS WORLD

On the 19 April 1951 national representatives from 26 countries travelled to London for the first Miss World as part of the Festival of Britain celebrations, which saw Kiki Haakinson from Sweden crowned the Miss World in the Lyceum Ballroom in London in what was originally intended to be a one-off. Little did she know she would be part of a legacy that would continue for 70 years. Today, more than 140 countries compete for the Miss World Crown. 

Miss World is now one of the most watched TV shows on the planet with more than 2 billion people tuning in through social media and the televised final that is broadcast to 100 countries globally. 

Reigning Miss World is Toni-Ann Singh of Jamaica who was crowned on 14 December 2019 in London, England
