20 Miss World Owners

Miss World - international competition for the most beautiful women in the world, is held annually since 1951. The idea of Miss World has appeared in the UK. Eric Morley originally proposed a bikini contest. A single event was planed, however, as the new competition was organized for the next year, Morley decided to make this event an annual contest. Today the final night, when the most beautiful women is being chosen, is broadcast in more than 200 countries around the globe. Traditionally, the winner of the title of Miss World lives in London for one year.
