In 1994, Anika Taher first represented Bangladesh at the beauty pageant [Miss World 1994](/source/Miss_World_1994) held in [Sun City, South Africa](/source/Sun_City%2C_South_Africa).[2] Shaila Simi was awarded the Miss Ruposhi Dhaka, Bangladesh award in 1998. Sonia Gazi (who was Miss Bangladesh 2000) received media attention.[3] Bangladesh has not sent a representative to Miss World since 2001. The pageant returned briefly for one year in 2007 and was organized by Apurbo.com and sponsored by Motherland Group/Cinevision.[4] However, the winner did not take part in [Miss World](/source/Miss_World). After 16 years later Antar Showbiz was created Miss World Bangladesh to give Bangladesh the opportunity to participate in the "Miss World" pageant again.[5] Since 2024, the winner of Miss Bangladesh Beauty Pageant represents Bangladesh at [Miss Earth](/source/Miss_Earth), one of the [Big Four international beauty pageants](/source/Big_Four_international_beauty_pageants). ## Miss Bangladesh (1994-2007) **Color key** - Declared as Winner - Ended as runner-up - Ended as finalist or semifinalist.
