GabyHouseWife tracked the key stages of this unique competition and is ready to share the results with its readers.
The winner of the AI beauty contest—the Fanvue World AI Creator Awards—is Kenza Leili, backed by a team from Morocco. She received a $13,000 prize.
Style, beauty, and grace are highly valued in most beauty contests, but the judges expected more than just an attractive appearance from the winner of the first AI beauty pageant in history.
One of the main reasons the judges chose Kenza Leili was her social-media reach: she has 190,000 followers on Instagram. The other was the project’s exceptionally advanced artificial intelligence.
In honor of the Moroccan AI’s victory, its creators released a video featuring a thank-you speech. In it, Kenza said, “Winning the Miss AI contest further motivates me to continue working on technology development.” She closed the speech by saying she would “continue my mission of empowering women around the world, particularly in Morocco and the Arab world, and to amplify their voices in the tech industry.”
As mentioned in previous publications, Kenza Leili is fluent in seven languages. She also enjoys interacting with her followers in real time.
Who else is on the podium?
In second place is French creator Lalina, who surrounds her 93,000 followers with a “stylish atmosphere with a hint of seduction.”
Third place went to Portuguese influencer Olivia Si, a travel creator with 10,000 followers known as the “AI traveler in the big real world.” She travels the globe—through images generated by neural networks that showcase the world’s most attractive tourist spots.
Sofia Novales, creator of the AI diva Aitana Lopez and a Miss AI juror, spoke to the Daily Mail. She said she was impressed by how different Kenza was from typical beauty standards.

Novales said AI personas won’t fully replace human influencers, but they will become more common.
Each year, AI models gain popularity in advertising, fashion, and beauty because they are relatively low-cost and flexible. For example, Aitana Lopez recently signed a contract with a large hair-salon chain that struggled to find real models willing to change their hairstyles almost every week.
“AI will never replace the creative mind of a real person, but it can expand their capabilities,” Novales said.
