What sets Miss Universe apart from Miss World?
Miss Universe and Miss World are the two major international beauty pageants. Established in the UK in 1951 after Miss World, Miss Universe was founded in the United States in 1952 and is the second oldest beauty pageant still running. Miss World is held in nearly 100 countries, but Miss Universe mostly includes women from America, Canada, Mexico, and Puerto Rico. Miss World places more emphasis on contestants’ skills and commitment to social justice and the environment compared to their beauty and intelligence, as in Miss Universe.
