No more swimsuits for Miss World 2015

Rolene Strauss is the last lady who participated in a swimsuit competition


Rolene Strauss, the newly crowned Miss World 2014 will be the last Miss World who would participate in the contest with a swimsuit competition. Julia Morley announced that for 2015 onwards, the swimsuit competition will be eliminated towards the final contest.

"I really don’t want—I don’t need to see women just walking up and down in bikinis. It doesn't do anything for the woman. And it doesn’t do anything for any of us," Mrs. Morley, 74, tells me as we watch a sing-off between Miss Malaysia and Miss Scotland during a dress rehearsal at the ICC Auditorium in the heart of London's Royal Docks. "I don’t care if someone has a bottom two inches bigger than someone else's. We are really not looking at her bottom. We are really listening to her speak."

With this juncture, Mrs. Morley may encourage the pageant industry that pageants are more than just bikinis.
