Kerstin "Kiki" Håkansson (born c. 1929) was a Swedish beauty queen who was the winner of the first Miss World beauty pageant after being crowned Miss Sweden World in 1951. Originally the Festival Bikini Contest,[1]
Appearance at Miss World 1951
Miss World was organized by Eric Morley as a mid-century advertisement for swimwear at the Festival of Britain.[2] Håkansson wore a bikini during the crowning ritual, after which she was condemned by the Pope,[3][4] and some countries with religious traditions threatened to withdraw delegates.[5] In 1952, bikinis were banned from the pageant and replaced with more modest swimwear.[6][7] While bikinis were eventually reintroduced to Miss World, Håkansson remains the only winner to have received her crown while wearing a bikini.[5]
