There is nothing surprising in this event: according to the habit of Manushi Chhillar, she continued the traditions of Indian beauties – to be always the first on the planet. At the recent Miss World 2017 contest, the girl achieved a convincing victory.
Manushi was born into a family of doctors and continues to study at the Medical College for Women in Sonipat. Her dream is to master the profession of a cardiac surgeon and open a number of rural charitable hospitals. 20-year-old Manushi loves to draw and write poetry. In her opinion, it helps to think creatively about life. Probably, many of the Miss World title holders of various years thought the same, which we will discuss below. After all, they were not only beauties, but also possessed extraordinary abilities and special charisma.
Title: Miss World 1952
This bright Swedish girl became the winner of the Miss World 1952 contest due to her unusual appearance and perfect shape of her beautiful body. Perhaps, the charming smile of May-Louise, who has always been distinguished by a cheerful and cheerful character, also played a role. She continued a similar step in her career: she successfully performed on the podium, rightfully considered one of the best models in the country. And along the way, May-Louise was fond of water skiing: the beautiful Swedish woman even took part in competitions. This occupation did not prevent, by the way, the management of a chain of hotels in Jordan. May-Louise Fludin died at the age of 76, surrounded by the care of a large family.
Title: Miss World 1953
The winner of the Miss World 1953 contest did not at all resemble a fragile Frenchwoman: Denise was slightly in her body, which, combined with her cute face, made a strong impression on the jury. This is probably why many viewers sympathized with the girl when she starred in the James Bond saga “Diamonds Are Forever”. In one of the episodes, the elusive agent, discarding all propriety, strangled Denise with her own swimsuit, trying to find out the place where the main evil is hiding. In fairness, this was the end of Perier’s film career, and she successfully used all her creative powers in the modeling business. And then Denise became interested in politics, which she is engaged in in her hometown to this day, arousing the residents’ well-deserved respect.
Title: Miss World 1954
She seemed to have left the pages of the “1001 Nights” fairy tales: the Egyptian Scheherazade, shining with beauty and education (Antigone spoke four languages fluently), was almost unanimously recognized as the winner of the Miss World 1954 contest. This success allowed Kostanda to become one of the best models in the Middle East in the future. In addition, Antigone was a welcome participant on the European podium, where she was greeted with enthusiasm by many spectators – connoisseurs of female beauty. After the end of her modeling career, Antigone did not sit idly by: she took up interior design and opened her own design company.
Title: Miss World 1956
She was the first German girl to win the Miss World 1956 competition. Note that Petra’s excellent knowledge of the English language played an important role in this success. Having taken the third place at the national competition “Miss Germany”, she did not even dream of becoming a participant in the most prestigious competition. Everything was decided at the last moment: it turns out that the first beauty of the country did not know English at all. And in order not to disgrace themselves, the Germans sent Petra Schürmann to the international competition, who triumphantly returned to her homeland. I must say that the girl was not fixated on a modeling career. Petra has successfully worked on television and radio. Unfortunately, her personal life will be tragic: after the death of her daughter Alexandra, she will withdraw into herself. Petra Schürmann will die from a long illness at the age of 76.
Title: Miss World 1958
Later, at home, a variety of roses will be named in her honor.

When she returned to South Africa, she was greeted by crowds of people rejoicing at the success of their compatriot. The further fate of Penelope did not undergo any special trials and hardships. She was not even upset by the fact that she failed screen tests in Hollywood. But Penelope achieved success in business: she launched a clothing line under her own name. And soon she married a wealthy farmer Michel Ray, became the mother of five sons. Penelope is still full of creative powers: she is engaged in photography, owns her own beauty salon.
Title: Miss World 1961
The Welsh brunette was irresistible, her unusual beauty immediately attracted the attention of the judges. This circumstance, of course, influenced the outcome of the final part of the Miss World 1961 competition, which was won by Rosemary Frankland. All of England welcomed this success: after all, she was the first British woman to achieve world fame. In the wake of success, she decided to act in films. But, alas, Rosemary Frankland’s only achievement was the movie Better to Sweden! In which she played a small role. It is possible that failures in creative and personal life (divorce from her husband – the famous guitarist Warren Entner) led to severe depression. Rosemary tried to get out of this state with the help of illegal drugs, which once led her to death.
Title: Miss World 1982
The graceful Venezuelan woman easily defeated her rivals at the Miss World 1981 contest. The beauty, I must say, wisely used her charms and showed herself to be a business girl. For example, one of the tankers of the oil company Petroleos de Venezuela SA began to bear her name, which she sold for a tidy sum. Pilin continued to skillfully use the title of beauty queen. Leon started her own business and is now successfully promoting products on the market. Pilin does not forget about the family: together with her husband, engineer Teodoro Perez, she brings up three children.

The risk fully justified itself: the blooming beauty of the Russian girl melted the hearts of the strictest judges, and Yulia Kurochkina became the winner. By the way, she was the first Russian woman to achieve such success. Now Julia is the head of a travel agency, she is married and has a daughter, Katya.

The chiseled figure of Aishwarya, her peculiar gait, creating the impression of some kind of airiness and lightness, remained in the memory of the organizers of the competition for a long time. She did not hesitate for a long time before choosing a future profession: the girl had long dreamed of a movie. And it should be noted that Aishwarya Rai with her perseverance and talent, after starring in a number of Indian films, nevertheless made her way to Hollywood. Many eminent directors began to invite her to their pictures, and now Aishwarya is considered one of the most sought-after actresses.
Title: Miss World 1998
She had to withstand a severe blow of fate: before going to the Miss World 1998 contest, Linor was raped. And although the rapist was arrested and sentenced for a long time, Abargil was morally suppressed. However, she found the strength to cope with herself. Unusual beauty made Linor stand out among other participants of the Miss World 1998 contest. For this reason, probably, the scales tipped in her direction. She returned to Israel as a winner, the whole country was proud of Linor Abargil’s success. Now the former beauty queen is actively involved in public work to protect women from violence, and participates in various actions.

In addition, Priyanka developed a remarkable singing talent, which was highly appreciated in the USA and Canada. By the way, Chopra successfully starred in the famous American TV series “Rescuers Malibu”. And now Priyanka continues to play the main role in the series “Quantico”. And I must say that many viewers fell in love with her on-screen image.
