The First and Last Miss World To Wear a Bikini

Kerstin "Kiki" Håkansson (born c. 1929) was the winner of the first Miss World beauty pageant in 1951, where her name was quoted as Kiki Haakonson.

She represented Sweden, and was the only winner to don a bikini. For the next two decades, Miss World winners wore one-piece bathing suits for the crowning ritual.
