Miss World is the oldest and most prestigious beauty contest held internationally. It was created in the UK by Eric Morley in 1951. Since her death in 2000, Morley’s widow Julia Morley has co-chaired the contest. Together with Miss Universe, Miss International and Miss Earth, this contest is one of the four major international beauty contests – the most coveted beauty titles when it comes to international competitions.
The Miss World Organization owns and manages the annual Miss World Final, a competition that has become one of the largest in the world. Since its launch in 1951, Miss World has raised more than £250 million for children’s charities helping disabled and needy children. Miss World is franchised in over 100 countries.
The winners of the Fast Track competitions automatically arrive in the Miss World quarterfinals or semifinals. Athletics categories are Miss World Beach Beauty, Purpose Beauty, Sports Challenge, Talent and Top Model. Miss World Beach Beauty replaced the title of Miss World Best in swimwear and Miss World Sports were added in 2003. Miss World Top Model was added in 2004. Miss World Multimedia was added in 2012.
The current Miss World is Vanessa Ponce of Mexico, who was crowned on December 8, 2018, in Sanya, China. She is the first Mexican woman to win Miss World. The prestigious Miss World 2019 will be held on December 14, 2019, in London, England.
