Once a beauty queen is always a beauty queen goes the saying, and this is so true about the beautiful Agbani Darego.

The 31 year old beauty queen entered the history books when she won the Miss World title in 2001. The victory made her the first Sub-Saharan woman to win the coveted pageant.

After her reign, Agbani Darego went into modeling. She was represented by Next Model Management and got a three year deal with L’Oreal.

This was another historic achievement as she was the second black model after Vanessa Williams to achieve this.

She has worked with top brands such as Avon, Christian Dior, Sephora, Target, and Macy’s and appeared in world famous magazines such as Elle, Marie Claire, Allure, Trace, Stitch, Cosmopolitan, and Essence.

Fourteen years after her reign Agbani Darego is still Nigeria’s most famous beauty queen.
