Miss America 1921 An immediate hit with the crowds, the "Inter-City Beauties" were later judged head-to-head against two other "Beauty" winners in selected classes of the now famous Bather's Revue: an "amateur winner" from over two hundred local women and tourists, and a "professional winner," which included a field of eleven professional models and actresses. In this extravagant and much-hyped final event, Margaret Gorman won the Grand Prize: the Golden Mermaid trophy.[4]
Miss Universe 2016 Miss Universe 2016 was the 65th Miss Universe pageant, was held on 30 January 2017[a] at the Mall of Asia Arena, Pasay, Metro Manila, Philippines. Pia Wurtzbach of the Philippines crowned Iris Mittenaere of France as her successor at the end of the event.[8][9] This is the second time in the history of the competition that the pageant skipped the entire year, following the 2014 pageant which was held in January 2015. France's win ended the country's 63-year title drought, the longest in Miss Universe history. Mittenaere was the first European Miss Universe in 14 years, the last being Russia's Oxana Fedorova who won in 2002 (later dethroned).
