Poland’s Karolina Bielawska has been crowned Miss World 2021, beating 96 other contestants.
The event, which was postponed in December 2021 following the Coronavirus outbreak, was concluded in Puerto Rico on Wednesday.
40 semi-finalists returned to the island to see Miss World 2020, Tony-Ann Singh of Jamaica, crown the new beauty queen.
“When I heard my name I was shocked, I still can’t believe it. I am honoured to wear the Miss World crown and can’t wait to get to work. I will remember this amazing chapter in Puerto Rico for the rest of my life,” Bielawska said after being crowned.
The highly anticipated Miss World final show was aired to over 100 countries where viewers watched and followed online as the reigning Miss World, Tony-Ann Singh crowned the 70th Miss World in Puerto Rico.
It was the second time Poland clinched the Miss World title as Aneta Kręglicka won the coveted pageant in 1989.
Miss USA, Shree Saini, an Indian-American, emerged the first runner-up, followed by Côte D’Ivoire’s Olivia Yace.
