For the first time in 63 years the organization's chairwoman Julia Morley has announced that Miss World will no longer feature a swimsuit round in their competition.
"The organization has decided to take itself out of the swimsuit world because it isn't the path they're trying to take," Chris Wilmer, the national director of Miss World America/Miss United States organization, reportedly said. "It's not just a beauty contest, it's 'beauty with a purpose'. There didn't seem to be a purpose to have the swimsuit."
Instead, the organization wants their contestants to focus on charity work and raising awareness to worthy causes.
