The daughter of former cabinet minister Mikhail Prest, Helen Prest Ajayi was a Law student when she was crowned Miss Nigeria in 1979. Following the end of her reign which saw her compete in Miss World, she graduated from the University of Ife and obtained her Masters from Kings College, London. Prest was regarded as a socialite in the 80's and early 90's, frequently photographed at social functions and featured in glossy magazines. She was also noted for her style which included mini skirts and dresses, and at her wedding to Jimmy Davies in 1988 (She was said to keep the groom waiting for hours), Prest-Ajayi looked ravishing in her off-the-shoulder gown.
Now in her 50's and married to media practitioner Tosin Ajayi, Prest-Ajayi is a CEO, writer, activist, and mother of three daughters; one of them, Tiffany Davies who is now a lawyer like her mother, competed in Most Beautiful Girl in Nigeria 2012.
