First competition " Miss Europe"as we know it now, was held in 1929 in Paris. Before that, girls sent their photographs to the newspaper Pari-Midi, where portraits of beauties were regularly published. The publishing house even arranged an open show of dresses and hairstyles, but at that time Only girls of European appearance could participate.
