Miss World 1990

Miss World 1990, the 40th anniversary of the Miss World pageant, was held on 8 November 1990 at the London Palladium in London, United Kingdom. The winner was Gina Tolleson representing the United States. She was crowned by Miss World 1989, Aneta Beata Kreglicka of Poland. After this event, the Miss World competition began staging outside the United Kingdom; in places such as in Atlanta, Hong Kong and Sun City, South Africa. This is the second time that the United States representative won Miss World, the other being Marjorie Wallace in 1973. Although Wallace was later dethroned, Tolleson was allowed to crown her successor the following year.
