Miss World Limited chairperson Julia Morley announced on Instagram with a picture of Dubai and the caption: “I am delighted to announce the 71st Miss World Festival will be held in…”. This is the first time the beauty pageant has been held in the Middle East.
The competition’s slogan is “beauty with a purpose.” Miss Poland, Karolina Bielawska, a model and television presenter, took first place the previous year. Poland won the competition for the second time. Olivia Yace of the Ivory Coast and Miss UAE, Shree Saini, were the runners-up. Miss Poland will attend the upcoming event in accordance with Miss World custom and announce the new winner.
Morley said the organization is yet to announce more details, including the date and venue. The most recent iteration of the competition took place in March 2022 in Puerto Rico, where Karolina Bielawska of Poland was crowned by Toni-Ann Singh of Jamaica.
