There was no Miss India pageant from 1955 to 1958. In 1959, Eve's Weekly organised its very first Miss India contest called Eve's Weekly Miss India to send India's representatives to the Miss World pageant. Fleur Ezekiel was crowned the eventual winner. She represented India at Miss World 1959 held in London, United Kingdom.
The first Femina Miss India pageant was held in 1964, where Meher Castelino Mistri of Maharashtra was crowned as the first Femina Miss India. She represented India at Miss Universe 1964 held in the United States and Miss Nations 1964 held in Spain.
Reita Faria was the first Miss India to win an international beauty pageant. She was crowned Miss World 1966 in London, United Kingdom. She was the winner of Eve's Weekly Miss India contest. The same year Femina Miss India winner Yasmin Daji represented India at Miss Universe 1966 and was the third runner-up at the event. She was the first Femina Miss India Winner to be placed at an international beauty pageant.
Zeenat Aman was the first Femina Miss India titleholder to win an international pageant. She was crowned Femina Miss India Asia Pacific and also won Miss Asia Pacific 1970 held in the Philippines.
Meenakshi Seshadri, was the youngest contestant to win Miss India at the age of 17 in 1981. She became a Bollywood actress, appearing in the films 'Hero', 'Damini', 'Ghayal' and 'Ghatak'. She left her acting career when she married.
In 1994, Sushmita Sen won the pageant and became the first Indian to be crowned Miss Universe. In the same year, the first runner-up, Aishwarya Rai, won Miss World in South Africa. The top three placements, Lara Dutta, Priyanka Chopra and Dia Mirza respectively went on to win Miss Universe 2000, Miss World 2000 and Miss Asia Pacific International 2000.
In 2002, the third winner of Femina Miss India contest represented India at Miss Earth instead of Miss Asia Pacific.

His association continued with the pageant along with experts from other fields such as Dr. Sandesh Mayekar for smile design, Dr. Jamuna Pai for skin and hair and Sabira Merchant for etiquette.

(TEPL), in partnership with Sushmita Sen, began a new pageant called I Am She – Miss Universe India and acquired the rights to send India's representatives to Miss Universe. The winner of this pageant participated in the Miss Universe pageant from 2010 to 2012. Consequently, from 2010, Femina Miss India crowned three winners as Femina Miss India World, Femina Miss India Earth and Femina Miss India International, with the third winner representing India at the Miss International pageant.
Competition irregularities
In 1989, the winner Kalpana Pandit was found to have misrepresented her Indian nationality as she had a USA passport. Pandit was stripped of her title and Dolly Minhas was declared the winner.
In 2004, Lakshmi Pandit (Kalpana Pandit's sister) was declared the winner, but returned her title as she was married. Sayali Bhagat was then declared the winner.
In 2008, Gladrags President Maureen Wadia provided legal notice to thenewly crowned Femina Miss India Earth 2008, Harshita Saxena for violating an exclusive two-year contract with Gladrags that had been signed by Saxena in 2006.
