Miller-Uibo, who was deprived gold in Doha in 2019 by Salwa Eid Nasr of Bahrain — since banned from the Tokyo Games and these championships after three missed doping tests — timed a world lead of 49.11 seconds at Hayward Field.
The smooth-running Miller-Uibo had a good start and was soon up on Fiordaliza Cofil in lane four.
Going hard down the back straight, Miller-Uibo then reeled in Jamaican Candice McLeod in lane five, with Dutch runner Lieke Klaver also going well in the outside lane.
As the field hit the home stretch, Miller-Uibo eased away comfortably, Paulino and Williams left to fight for minor medals as Klaver slipped, eventually finishing fourth.
