Miss World 2019 Toni-Ann Singh, 25, of Jamaica will crown her successor at the José Miguel Agrelot Coliseum in San Juan, Puerto Rico on March 16, 2022. It will be the 70th edition of the oldest active international beauty pageant, which was created by Eric Morley in 1951.

Singh was supposed to crown her successor on December 16, 2021. But on that day, it was announced that the coronation night would be rescheduled because several candidates tested positive for the new coronavirus (COVID-19).

On December 14, 2019, Singh was crowned Miss World 2019 at the ExCel London in London, England, United Kingdom. Ophély Mézino, 22, of France was first runner-up while Suman Rao, 22, of India was second runner-up.

Singh was not able to crown her successor in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She holds the record of the longest completed Miss World reign.
