Eric Morley died in 2000, and his wife, Julia, succeeded as chairwoman of the Miss World business enterprise.

The first black African Miss World winner, Agbani Darego of Nigeria, was topped in 2001. As a part of its advertising and marketing method, Miss World came up with a "Vote For Me" television unique all through that edition, providing the delegates backstage and on the seaside, and allowing viewers to either telephone in or vote online for his or her favorites. It also sells its Talent, Beach Beauty and Sports events as tv specials to broadcasters. ITV broadcast the 2001 festival from South Africa on virtual channel ITV2, with the special airing per week earlier on the principle ITV channel.

In 2002 the festival was slated for Abuja, the capital city of Nigeria to host its very last. This desire become arguable, as a northern Nigerian female, Amina Lawal, changed into expecting demise by stoning for adultery under Sharia regulation there, but Miss World selected to use the exposure surrounding its presence to convey extra worldwide consciousness and action to Lawal's plight. No British channel agreed to broadcast the event, and there were objections to the competition.

In the Miss World 2014 ceremony, Aishwarya Rai the maximum a hit topped Miss World by the Miss World Organization attended the celebration along with her husband Abhishek Bachchan, daughter Aaradhya and mom Brinda Rai. It has been broadcast on neighborhood TV channel London Live considering 2014.
