The glittering
tiara: Miss World crowning moments
Everyone could feel the excitement
when Julia Morley is about to announce who the Miss World will be,
and for the past five years since 2000, the glitz of the tiara never
missed a single moment from us.

Miss World 2000, Priyanka
Chopra of India
"there are a lot of people i
admire, but one of the most admirable people is mother Teresa who
has been so considerate, compassionate and kind."
The exact words that priyanka said
that made her earn the glitzing tiara as the first Miss World of
the millennium and the first time in india's Miss World history
being crowned twice consecutively. Priyanka was not tall, but she
has been the ultimate favourite to win the Miss World crown.
Her crowning moment?
Wonderful! she was not surprise
at all, but it was obvious that she really wanted to win! holding
back the tears in her eyes, Priyanka was the happiest woman on that
night.

Miss World 2001, Agbani Darego
of Nigeria
"Black is beautiful"
Being the first Miss World of Nigeria,
Agbani Darego opened the doors to a new realm with bright days to
come for future Miss Nigeria's. Bet for Miss World, Universe, Earth
or International. Agbani was twice as lucky! She was a semifinalist
at Miss Universe and crowned Miss World that same year! after her
winning feat, pageants became more popular to Nigeria, giving hope
and making other aspiring young miss Nigeria's dreams come true.
Her crowning moment?
It was sensational! it was like crowning a new queen of England.
While her anthem was played on the background, Agbani couldn’t
hide her happiness and she was very very happy and proud to bring
honour to Nigeria!

Miss World 2002, Azra Akin of Turkey
"I hope to represent the women
of the world in a good way"
Moments before the pageant, the
contestants requested to include Amina Lawal to be included in their
prayers together with the hope of a fast recovery to Nigeria. Who
could ever forget such a colorful year that brought the MW organization
in a big dilemma. but nonetheless, Azra Akin from Turkey had it
all being the third Miss World of the millennium. She hopes to represent
the women of the world in a good way.
Her crowning moment?
Perfect! everybody just loved Azra
Akin from the moment she stepped out on stage! winning an award
for her designer, she was elegant and proved that boots are for
pageants too!

Miss World 2003, Rosanna Davison of Ireland
"Miss World's lady in red"
For so many times, another ultimate
favourite won the Miss World title. Having a look a modern mature
woman, nobody could tell that she is just only nineteen. Wearing
a hot pink dress, she became instantly famous as her dad was.
Her crowning moment?
Great! winning a beach beauty award at the same time, nobody could
easily take the crown away from a deserving woman.

Miss World 2004, María Julia Mantilla of Peru
"The world's first true Miss
World!"
Maria Julia Mantilla of Peru made
history, as being the first Miss World voted by the global audience.
Maju is beautiful and she is even quoted as a "Miss World at
all angles", meaning, she is the perfect woman to represent
the women of the world.
Her crowning moment?
It was exciting! people were thrilled
who gets to win the crown and the world had made a very good choice!
Considering that her opponents were as good as her, she still is
no doubt the one who's head the glittering tiara must rest.
