IndiaMiss World 2000, the 50th Miss World pageant, was held on 30 November, 2000 at the Millennium Dome in London, United Kingdom. The pageant's swimsuit segment was filmed in the Maldives.
The pageant was the first since the death of pageant owner Eric Morley, whose widow Julia Morley took over responsibility for the event. The pageant had 95 contestants the highest number of Miss World participants ever. This was surpassed in 2003.
The pageant was won by Priyanka Chopra of India, the fifth Indian Miss World and the second consecutive winner from her country. Internationally, Chopra reigned alongside Miss Universe 2000 titleholder Lara Dutta and Miss Asia Pacific 2000 titleholder Dia Mirza, both also of India. This was the first time since 1994 that Miss World and Miss Universe came from the same country and was the one of two times in the history of the pageant that Miss Universe, Miss World, and Miss Asia Pacific (all three major categories) are all from the same country; in 1994 the two titleholders were also Indians, Sushmita Sen (Miss Universe) and Aishwarya Rai (Miss World). Chopra was the third Indian winner of Miss World in four years.
