Swedish model Kiki Håkansson, the first-ever winner of the Miss World beauty pageant, has died at the age of 95.
Håkansson made history in 1951 when she became the inaugural titleholder of the prestigious competition.“Kiki passed away peacefully on Monday, 4 November, at her home in California, and according to her children, she went peacefully, comfortably, and was well taken care of,” the statement read.“We are sending our love and offering our prayers at this difficult time. Kiki was a true pioneer, and it was therefore fitting that she would have her place in history as the first ‘Miss World.
“We will continue, through eternity, to celebrate the memory of the first-ever Miss World, Kerstin Håkansson, who is forever in our hearts.”In March this year, Krystyna Pyszková of the Czech Republic was crowned Miss World 2024 at the Jio World Convention Centre in Mumbai, India.Body found on birthday
