The first Miss World, Kiki Hakansson, has died. She was 95 years old. The Swedish beauty queen, who won the first Miss World title in 1951 and made history, died peacefully in her sleep at her home in California on November 4. From what they said, she was "peaceful, comfortable, and well cared for" in her last moments.
On her official Miss World Instagram account, the news of her death was shared, along with the pageant's great sadness over the loss of one of its most famous stars. "Our deepest condolences go out to Kiki's family and friends." "Sending our love and prayers during this hard time," the tribute said.
On July 29, 1951, Kiki Hakansson became the first Miss World. This was the start of a tradition that would last for many years. The event, which was supposed to be a one-time thing connected to the Festival of Britain, became famous all over the world. At first, no one thought that the beauty contest at the Lyceum Ballroom would become the start of an international tradition. But Kiki's win made it possible for what would become the most famous beauty show in the world to begin.
Kiki Hakansson was born in Sweden on December 18, 1928. She was 22 years old when she won the Miss World title. People around the world were still getting over the effects of World War II when she won. The idea of a worldwide competition to honour beauty, grace, and skill was a fresh and welcome one. It was both a personal and a historical moment for Kiki to win because it made her a symbol of beauty and women around the world at a time when beauty pageants were just starting to catch on.
For the rest of her life, Kiki was an ambassador for the Miss World organisation, which she did with charm and humility. People remember her not only for how pretty she was, but also for how kind and gentle she was. The organisation that runs Miss World, which has grown into one of the most important beauty pageants in the world, paid tribute to Kiki's lasting influence on the world of pageants and the part she played in shaping their history.
The Miss World competition shared a touching message on social media about how sad they were about the death of their brave queen. "We are very sad to say that our first Miss World, Kiki Hakansson, has died." She was a remarkable woman who will be known for her style, grace, and the way she led others to look after others.
Kiki's death is a sad reminder of how the Miss World competition has changed over the years and how she was there at the very beginning. Women all over the world are still inspired and empowered by the event, and Kiki Hakansson's memory will always be a big part of its history.
Many people will miss her, but we will always remember what she did for beauty pageants and the Miss World family around the world. We are thinking of her family, friends, and other people she cared about during this sad time.
