Miss Pakistan World is a beauty pageant that started the whole pageant industry for Pakistan as before Miss Pakistan World, beauty pageants for Pakistan never existed. This was the first pageant that sent its winners to international pageants with Zehra Sheerazi becoming the first beauty queen to successfully complete an international pageant in Korea called World Miss University. After World Miss University the pageant found success in Miss Earth, Miss Supranational, Miss Supertalent, Miss Tourism, Queen of the World, Miss Global and many other international pageants. The first achievement for Pakistan was through Shanzay Hayat who competed in Miss Grand International and placed in the top 15. This was the first time Pakistan place in the top 15 position.

The pageant was started by Sonia Ahmed who saw this as a movement for bringing together the youth of Pakistanis living abroad as well as from Pakistan and created a platform parallel to Pakistan in entertainment. Ahmed created Mrs. Pakistan World in 2007 and Mr. Pakistan World in 2011 following Miss Pakistan World.
