Miss World 2023

About Miss World

Miss World is the oldest existing and longest-running major international beauty pageant. Eric Morley created the pageant in London, United Kingdom, on July 29, 1951. Since the founder’s passing in 2000, the pageant has been co-run by his wife and co-chair, Julia Morley.

Miss World is one of the Big Four international pageants, along with Miss Universe, Miss International, and Miss Earth. This is a pageant that inspires the crowned winner to continue the humanitarian impact and raise funds and bring positive changes to communities around the world.

The Miss World Organization owns and manages the Miss World finals each year, and the competition is franchised in over 100 countries. The organization has raised more than £1 billion for charities to help disabled and unprivileged children.

What is the difference between Miss World and Miss Universe?

While both of the pageants evaluate the beauty of the contestants, there is a difference between the two beauty pageants. Miss World was founded in 1951 in London, UK, and Miss Universe the following year in New York, US.

While Miss World advocated humanitarian issues with the ‘Beauty With a Purpose’, Miss Universe advocated the humanitarian cause to bring changes in the world. There are no restrictions for the participants to compete in both contests, even during the same year.

However, the contestants can compete in the same national pageant only once. Both contests are considered important, and there is nothing official to suggest that either pageant is better than the other one.
