In 1951, the first international beauty pageant was held in London. It was originally planned to be a one-time event, but the hype surrounding the beauty pageant (which was only worth getting dirty in a swimsuit) forced its organizer, Eric Merli, to make the event an annual event.
The man didn’t have to invent a name: the British press did it for him. Miss World is celebrating its 70th anniversary in 2021! We offer you a look at how the brightest winners of the 20th century looked, and at the same time evaluate how beauty trends have changed over the last decade.
