In 2006, Miss Indonesia lost the franchise of the Miss ASEAN pageant and repositioned as Miss World Indonesia to represent Indonesia at the Miss World pageant.

In 2020, Miss Indonesia and UBS Gold again introduced the new Miss Indonesia crown model entitled "Spirit of Indonesia". The crown consists of a frame made of white gold, encrusted with swarovski zirconia to give it a red accent. The combination of red and white symbolizes Indonesia. This new crown is expected to bring fighting spirit to Indonesian women in the global arena.[20]

Placements at International Pageants

The following are the placements of Miss Indonesia titleholders for their participation at international pageants throughout the years.

Controversy

In recent years, there has been criticism that some participants do not come from, and have never even set foot in, the area they represent. This is because Miss Indonesia auditions are generally held only in major cities, so not all regions can be represented. Potential participants may hold a sash from particular province, although they have no connection with that province.[26][27][28]
