Kerry Anne Wells (born 25 September 1951 in Perth) is an Australian fashion designer, writer, commentator, news anchor and beauty queen who was crowned Miss Universe 1972.

Wells was not crowned by her predecessor, Georgina Rizk because Rizk was not able to travel to Puerto Rico due to government restrictions because of fears of a terrorist attacks after a group of Japanese hired by Arab terrorists, attacked the international airport in Tel Aviv and killed twenty-two Puerto Rican tourists.

For that reason Wells was crowned by Miss Universe 1970, Marisol Malaret of Puerto Rico.

Kells was delegated to crown the winner of Miss Universe 1975, due to the suspension of duties by reigning titleholder at the time, Amparo Munoz.

As of 2007[update], Kerry Anne Wells is a successful fashion designer, writer and commentator who speaks out about positive realistic body image and self-esteem.
