  • Der Schönheitswettbewerb um die Miss Universe 1927 fand unter dem Namen Second International Pageant of Pulchritude and Eighth Annual Bathing Girl Revue vom 21. bis zum 23. Mai 1927 in Galveston (Texas) statt. An den Vorgänger-Veranstaltungen von 1920 bis 1925, lediglich als Galveston Bathing Girl Revue bezeichnet, hatten ausschließlich Kandidatinnen aus den Vereinigten Staaten teilgenommen. Aber 1926 kamen die beiden ersten internationalen Teilnehmerinnen dazu. Etwa 150.000 Zuschauer sollen sich jährlich die Badeanzug-Parade auf dem Galveston Boulevard angesehen haben. Siegerin wurde Dorothy Britton (Miss New York City) und erhielt in diesem Jahr noch den Titel Beauty Queen of the Universe, der erst ab 1928 Miss Universe hieß. Es gab 37 Bewerberinnen – 29 aus den USA und acht Ausländerinnen. (de)
