Miss World 1951, the first Miss World pageant, was held on 29 July 1951 at the Lyceum Ballroom in London, United Kingdom. The contest was originally intended to be a one-off event connected with the Festival of Britain[1]. A total of 26 contestants competed for the inaugural Miss World title; while the names of 16 contestants are archived, there is no information on the remaining 10 contestants who represented Britain.
The winner was Kiki Håkansson from Sweden. She wore a bikini when being crowned, the only winner to ever do so.
The current Miss World is Vanessa Ponce of Mexico who was crowned on 8 December 2018 in Sanya, China.[6] She is the first Mexican woman to win Miss World
The first black African Miss World winner, Agbani Darego of Nigeria, was crowned in 2001.
