Miss World 2019 was the 69th edition of the Miss World pageant, held at the Exhibition Centre London in London, England, on 14 December 2019.[1][2]

At the end of the event, Vanessa Ponce of Mexico crowned Toni-Ann Singh of Jamaica as Miss World 2019.[3][4] It is the fourth victory of Jamaica in the history of the pageant.[5][6]

Contestants from 111 countries and territories competed in the pageant. The pageant was hosted by Peter Andre, Miss World 2013 Megan Young, Miss World 2016 Stephanie Del Valle, and Fernando Allende. Peter Andre, Lulu, Misunderstood, and Kerry Ellis performed in this edition.[7]

Background

Location and date

The official announcement was made on 19 February 2019, in Bangkok, by Miss World President Julia Morley, CEO Tanawat Wansom of TW Pageants, and guest Ashwani Kumar Rai. They announced a mid-December date for the contest.[8][9]

However, on 2 July 2019, Morley and Vanessa Ponce, the reigning Miss World, appeared on ITV's Good Morning Britain with Piers Morgan. Morley officially announced that the pageant will be held on Saturday, 14 December 2019, at ExCeL London and that Miss World 2020 will be held in Thailand in order to celebrate Miss World's 70th anniversary. The 2019 opening ceremony was held in London on 20 November. Contestants then competed in a series of fast track events around London.[10]

Selection of participants

Contestants from 111 countries and territories were selected to compete in the competition. Three of these delegates were appointees to their national titles and another was selected to replace the original winner.

Returns and withdrawals

This edition saw the returns of Cambodia who last competed in 2006, Samoa in 2015, Antigua and Barbuda, Costa Rica, Kyrgyzstan, and the United States Virgin Islands in 2016, and Macau, Sweden, and Tunisia who last competed in 2017.

Larissa Robitschko of Austria did not compete in any international pageant after their national organization relinquished the local franchise.[11][12] Palesa Makara of Lesotho and Sanja Lovčević of Serbia withdrew due to undisclosed reasons. Valerie Mille Binguira of Madagascar withdrew due to internal conflicts with their national organization.[13][14] Belize, Cameroon, Cyprus, Egypt, Germany, Guam, Latvia, Lebanon, Martinique, Norway, Zambia, and Zimbabwe withdrew after their respective organizations failed to hold a national competition or appoint a delegate.[15]
