MEET THE TITLEHOLDERS WHO MADE MISS BIKINI HISTORY

Founded in 2015, Miss Bikini® changed the traditional competition format by creating the first-of-its-kind hybrid model search and pageant – combining the excitement of competition with real opportunities in modeling, fashion, television and entertainment.

Miss Bikini has never been about simply winning a crown. From the beginning, it was designed as a launchpad.

Over the years, many of the recognizable models and personalities you see working in the industry today got an early start at Miss Bikini. They walked our runways, competed on our stage, built their portfolios, gained confidence in front of the camera and made connections that helped propel them toward what came next.

Look through our titleholders and alumni and you’re sure to see some familiar faces.

Miss Bikini has also built a reputation for doing things differently. We were the first competition to bring angel wings to the pageant runway and the first to introduce a Fantasy Swimwear Competition, blending the spectacle of a major fashion show with the energy of a national model search.

Then we took contestants somewhere no other pageant had successfully gone before – reality television.

Miss Bikini Backstage became the first successful reality television series created around a pageant/model search of its kind, taking viewers beyond the stage and behind the scenes of the Miss Bikini experience. The series has reached audiences around the world through Amazon Prime Video, Tubi and other major streaming platforms, giving Miss Bikini contestants something truly different: the opportunity to become part of the show, not simply the competition.

For more than a decade, women have come to Miss Bikini from across the country – some already working models, others stepping onto a runway for the very first time. They came to compete, but many left with something much bigger: experience, exposure, confidence, friendships, opportunities and the beginning of a career.

Today, Miss Bikini continues to evolve across fashion, modeling, media and television, while the women who came through it continue to build legacies of their own.
