The Story
The Crown, Traced in Currency
"Since the pageant began in 1952, the Miss Universe crown has been held by 97 women from around the world."
The Miss Universe Theme File tracks every titleholder in the pageant's history, including India's own Sushmita Sen (1994) and Harnaaz Kaur Sandhu (2021), across 178 notes.
The file records dates of birth, death (where applicable), and date of the pageant win itself — a three-part footprint of each titleholder's public life.
"97 titleholders since 1952 — including 2 from India."
