Ksenia Sukhinova, Miss World 2008
Miss World pageant is the oldest of the Big Four international beauty pageants, created by Eric Morley in 1951. The corner stone of the pageant has always been, and still is, beauty. Naturally. But it has come a long way from the winner touring with Bob Hope and having a girly role in the next James Bond film. These days it is for many of the participants a stepping stone to a diversity of careers. Nevertheless, the Miss World pageant has also been the target of many controversies since its inception.
