1998 marked the 9^th anniversary of the Miss Perfection of the Year Pageant, which began in 1990 in St. Petersburg. The competition started small and featured 2 rounds only: Physique and Compulsories. The first Miss Perfection title went to Helena Ryapolova.

  In 1991 Moscow played host to the second pageant. The Miss Perfection 91 competition included 3 phases: Physique, Compulsories and Style.

  Tatyana Karpushina was named the winner. In 1991 Shaping show groups competition was incorporated into the pageant's routine.

  In 1992-93 the pageant was held in St. Petersburg. Helena Ryapolova made a fantastic comeback and stole the competition.

  Anna Kiryashova was named the best in 1994.

  MISS PERFECTION 95 fell to Anna Bochkova. The Miss Perfection competition saw a new round added: Beauty Care. To become the winner, one should be Well Shaped, Gracious and Glamorous. For the first time in history, the winner was awarded a trophy made by Anton Vetchinkin, a St. Petersburg sculptor. St. Petersburg hosted Miss Perfection 95 Pageant.

  Again, in 1996 Anna Kiryashova scored the highest point and became an overall titleholder.

  In 1996 there was established a new award to commemorate brilliance and unique talent of Anna Filatova, the late co-designer of the Shaping Choreography concept. Since 1996 Shaping show groups have been competing for the award.

  Miss Perfection 97 held in St. Petersburg introduced a new slogan: You are Worthy of Admiration! Natalya Gavrilova got the highest score and placed first.

  The Miss Perfection 98 judging system was changed to meet a new Shaping competition goal: spiritual advancement. From now on to win a delegate should get a score higher than her own previous competition scores. With this innovation the competition has a different feel to it. Natalya Gavrilova became an overall titleholder.   She surpassed her last year results and got the highest scores (71.8) throughout the pageant's history
