Miss World or Miss Universe?
Unlike Miss Universe, the annual Miss World is allegedly about charity, humanitarianism, and talent.
There are many beauty pageants that take place at an international level. The Miss World pageant is considered as the longest running event of its kind and was created by Eric Morley in the UK in 1951. It is one of the three most publicized beauty pageants, along with Miss Universe and Miss Earth.
Miss World 2017 has introduced a new format, giving significant emphasis on social media and interactivity, where the contestants will be separated in six groups for “Head to Head Challenge” and the winner was selected from each group to move on to Top 40 finalists.
The Top 40 finalists came from winners of five fast-track events and fifteen will be chosen by the jury.
The fast-track categories are Miss World Beach Beauty, Beauty With a Purpose, Sports Challenge, Talent and Top Model.
