Pageant record · the world's first AI beauty pageant

Miss AI

Last reviewed by a human: 2026-08-28

The world's first beauty pageant where no contestant is a real person — the winner and placed finalists, documented persona by persona.

Is Miss AI a real pageant — and are the contestants real people?

A real pageant with deliberately unreal contestants. Miss AI was the world's first beauty pageant for AI-generated personas, held in July 2024 as part of Fanvue's World AI Creator Awards — entries had to be entirely AI-generated, so by rule, no contestant is a real woman. Every entrant is a virtual character with a human creator or team operating it. The winner and the placed finalists our registry documents are below, each linking to a full evidence page that names what is known about the operator behind the persona.

The pageant named more finalists than our registry currently documents; this page lists the placements we have researched and sourced. A pageant placement is the organizer's record of the persona — each linked page carries the evidence for the verdict itself.

Quick answers

Who won the first Miss AI pageant?

Kenza Layli, in July 2024 — a Moroccan lifestyle persona created by Myriam Bessa's Phoenix AI agency. The pageant was part of Fanvue's World AI Creator Awards, and entries had to be entirely AI-generated. Her page documents the persona, the operator, and the evidence.

Are Miss AI contestants real women?

No — by the pageant's own rules, every entry had to be entirely AI-generated. That makes Miss AI unusual in the best way for our purposes: the contestants are openly virtual, disclosed as AI by the people who run them, which is exactly the standard our 'AI Persona' verdict requires. The question fans should ask isn't whether these three are real — it's whether an account claiming to BE one of them is the operator's real account. Each page lists the confirmed ones.

Who runs the Miss AI pageant?

It was created as part of the World AI Creator Awards, launched by Fanvue, a subscription platform used heavily by AI-persona operators. The first edition ran in July 2024. It's the platform's own event — a promotional showcase for the AI-creator economy — which is worth knowing when you read coverage of it.
