The Nuestra Belleza Mundo México title was assumed by Paulina Flores from Sinaloa after Jacqueline Bracamontes won the right to compete in Miss Universe. Bracamontes could not hold both titles at once, so Paulina Flores as Suplente/1st Runner-up assumed the title. Flores later competed in Miss World 2000 in the United Kingdom. She was the first Sinaloense to win this Title.

The Nuestra Belleza Internacional México title (Best Hair Pantene) was won by Lilián Villanueva from Quintana Roo. She would have competed in Miss International 2001 in Japan, but the Nuestra Belleza México Organization lost the franchise of this international event that year and she could not compete. Villanueva is the first and only Quintanarroense to win this Title.

After three years, two events were held separately to select the two winners for the titles Nuestra Belleza México and Nuestra Belleza Mundo México.
