Performance NotesThe thirtieth Miss World Contest. The event was recorded and broadcast by Thames Television, as was the dress rehearsal the previous day.

The winner was Gabriella Brum from Germany who was crowned by Miss World 1979, Gina Swainson of Bermuda. The first runner-up was Kimberley Santos representing Guam, second was Patricia Barzyk from France, third was Anat Zimmermann of Israel, and fourth was Kim Ashfield from the United Kingdom.

Brum resigned after 18 hours of her reign, and fourteen days later, first runner-up Santos was crowned the new Miss World. The winner of the contest won £5,000 plus a contract of work with a guaranteed £15,000 salary.
