Miss India

The following is a list of India's official representatives and their placements at the Major International Beauty Pageants. The country has won a total of twelve victories with eighty-nine placements in all six pageants:

• Three – Miss Universe crowns (1994 • 2000 • 2021)
• Six – Miss World crowns (1966 • 1994 • 1997 • 1999 • 2000 • 2017)
• One – Miss Earth crown (2010)
• Two – Miss Supranational crowns (2014 • 2016)

India won its first major international beauty pageant title when Reita Faria from India bagged the Miss World 1966 title, becoming the first Asian to win Miss World.[1] In 1994, Sushmita Sen won Miss Universe 1994, becoming the country's first ever Miss Universe titleholder.[2] Later that year, Aishwarya Rai added to the winning streak, picking up the Miss World 1994 title, making India the last country to ever win at both Miss Universe and Miss World in the same year in the 20th century.[3]

Diana Hayden then won the Miss World 1997.[4] Actor and model Yukta Mookhey was later crowned Miss World 1999.[5] Six years after Sushmita Sen and Aishwarya Rai's double wins, Lara Dutta for Miss Universe 2000 and Priyanka Chopra for Miss World 2000 replicated the feat in 2000, marking the most recent time (as of 2023) that any country has won back-to-back at Miss World and, to date, the only time that any country won Miss Universe and Miss World in the same year in the 21st century.[6][7] India's appearances at the Miss Universe semifinals from 1992 to 2002 made it the first country in the Eastern Hemisphere to place annually at the pageant for at least 10 consecutive years.

In 2010, Nicole Faria from Bangalore became the first Indian woman to win the Miss Earth 2010 pageant. Asha Bhat is the first Indian woman to win Miss Supranational 2014. Srinidhi Shetty from Mangalore duplicated the victory by winning Miss Supranational 2016 and making India only country to have a double victory in the history of that pageant. Manushi Chhillar won the Miss World 2017 title and became the sixth Indian woman to be crowned Miss World. Harnaaz Sandhu won the Miss Universe 2021 title, becoming the third Indian woman to be crowned Miss Universe and the most recent Big Four pageant titleholder from India as of 2023.[8][9]
