The Miss Universe pageant in 1952 was the first-ever edition of this prestigious international beauty competition. It took place on June 28, 1952, at the Long Beach Municipal Auditorium in Long Beach, California, USA.
The winner of the inaugural Miss Universe title was Armi Helena Kuusela from Finland. Armi Kuusela, born on August 20, 1934, in Muhos, Finland, became the first Miss Universe at the age of 17. Her victory marked the beginning of a longstanding tradition in the Miss Universe competition.
After winning the title, Armi Kuusela briefly enjoyed her reign as Miss Universe before relinquishing the crown. She made significant contributions to charitable causes during her tenure. Later, she married Filipino businessman Virgilio Hilario and settled in the Philippines.
Armi Kuusela's win in 1952 set the stage for the continued success and global recognition of the Miss Universe pageant, which has since become one of the most-watched international beauty pageants.
