Miss World 1990, the 40th anniversary of the Miss World pageant, was held on 8 November 1990 at the London Palladium in London, United Kingdom. The winner was Gina Tolleson representing the United States.[1][2] She was crowned by Miss World 1989, Aneta Beata Kreglicka of Poland.[3] After this event, the Miss World competition began staging outside the United Kingdom; in places such as in Atlanta, Hong Kong and Sun City, South Africa.[4][5] This is the second time that the United States representative won Miss World, the other being Marjorie Wallace in 1973.
