Miss Somalia Khadija Omar, the first hijab-wearing Miss World contestant, made the top 40.

The finals, which were hosted by British singer Peter Andre and Mexican star Fernando Allende, took place at the Coca-Cola Music Hall in San Juan, Puerto Rico.

During the pageant, a 70-piece Puerto Rico Symphony Orchestra performed while candles were also lit for Ukraine as the Russian invasion continues. Candidates sang Andrea Bocelli’s The Prayer, asking for peace for Ukrainians, and Miss World Ukraine 2016 Oleksandra Kucherenko shared her experiences in a video message.

It is the 70th iteration of the event, which was launched in 1951 by Eric Morley, who became known as "Mr World″ after he founded the famed beauty pageant.

The event, which was planned for December 2021, was rescheduled for March 16 after a Covid-19 outbreak during the preliminary rounds at the pageant in Puerto Rico.
