Notes
editDebuts
edit- Romania competed in Miss World for the first time after the Miss World Organization allowed the nation to compete after a 24-year revolution.
There were two panels of judges, one in the UK and another in Australia, that commented Miss Venezuela to be “the best one”. This clip was removed from videos and she was placed 2nd runner up.
