The group was first described by the China Daily newspaper in 2004 as "the world's four major beauty contests".[7][8] In April 2008, the South China Morning Post described them as "four of the world's top beauty pageants";[9] the same description was also used by South Korea's leading newspaper, Chosun Ilbo in 2010.[10] In 2017, the Latin Times considered the group as the "most important pageants in the world".[11] In 2018, NBC News referred to them as the "four biggest international pageants".[12] Agencia EFE in 2019 classified them as the "four most influential beauty pageants in the world".[13][14][15]
Among the hundreds of thousands of beauty contests held annually,[16] the Big Four are considered the most prestigious,[17] widely covered and broadcast by media.[18] The Wall Street Journal,[2] BBC News,[19] CNN,[20][21] Xinhua News Agency,[22] and global news agencies such as Reuters,[23][24] Associated Press[25] and Agence France-Presse[26][27] collectively refer to the four major pageants as the "Big Four".
Big Four pageants
- Miss World is the oldest existing major international beauty pageant.[28][29] It was created in the United Kingdom by Eric Morley in 1951.[30][31] Since Morley's death in 2000, his widow, Julia Morley, co-chairs the pageant.[32][33]
- Miss Universe is an international beauty pageant that is run by the Miss Universe Organization.[34][35][36] As of 2022, it is owned by the Thailand-based JKN Global Group.[37][38] The pageant was founded in 1952 by California clothing company Pacific Mills.[39][40] The pageant became part of Kayser-Roth and then Gulf Western Industries, before being acquired by Donald Trump in 1996,[41][42] and WME/IMG in 2015.[33][43]
- Miss International, also called "Miss International Beauty",[44] is a Tokyo-based international beauty pageant organized by The International Culture Association. The pageant was first held in 1960.[45][46]
- Miss Earth is an annual international environmental-themed beauty pageant promoting environmental awareness organized by Manila-based Carousel Productions through the Miss Earth Foundation and was first held in 2001.[47][48] The pageant is affiliated with and works on projects with other institutions, including Greenpeace, World Wildlife Foundation, and United Nations Environment Program.[33][49][50]

Multiple wins in the same year
France became the first nation to win at least two of the Big 4 beauty pageant titles in the same year, winning in 1953 (Miss Universe and Miss World),[97][98] followed by Brazil in 1968 (Miss Universe and Miss International),[99] Australia in 1972 (Miss Universe and Miss World),[100] Venezuela in 1981 (Miss Universe and Miss World) as well as in 2013 (Miss Universe and Miss Earth), India in 1994 and 2000 (Miss Universe and Miss World), Ecuador in 2011 (Miss International and Miss Earth), and the Philippines in 2013 (Miss World and Miss International) and 2015 (Miss Universe and Miss Earth).[78]
Back-to-back wins
In Miss World, three back-to-back victories have been recorded.[101] In its first two editions, Sweden recorded back-to-back with Kiki Hakansson and May-Louise Flodin in Miss World 1951 and Miss World 1952, respectively.[101] United Kingdom contestants Ann Sidney and Lesley Langley duplicated this feat in Miss World 1964 and Miss World 1965, respectively.[101] The most recent back-to-back Miss World victories came from India, with Yukta Mookhey in Miss World 1999 and Priyanka Chopra in Miss World 2000 edition.[101][102]
In Miss Universe, Venezuela is currently the only country to win back-to-back in Miss Universe 2008 and Miss Universe 2009.[103][104][105] Stefanía Fernandez won the Miss Universe 2009 title in which Venezuela earned a Guinness World Record to have the first Miss Universe winner succeeded by her compatriot, Miss Universe 2008 Dayana Mendoza.[106]
In Miss Earth, the victory of Angelia Ong in Miss Earth 2015, succeeding Jamie Herrell, Miss Earth 2014, made the Philippines to date the only country to win back-to-back in the Miss Earth pageant.[102][107][108]
The Miss International competition, on the other hand, has yet to see a back-to-back win.
