Canadian Representatives at Miss World
It began in 1951 as a special prelude to
the Festival of Britain, and today, Miss World is one
of the most recognized brand names on the planet. From
Astrid to Agbani, from Antigone to Azra, from Aneta to
Aishwarya, Miss World is a major figure during her yearlong
reign, receiving international travel, incalculable exposure,
and the joyous opportunity to work with “Beauty with
a Purpose”.
