Miss Universe 1957 was the sixth Miss Universe pageant, held at the Long Beach Municipal Auditorium in Long Beach, California, United States on 19 July 1957.
At the end of the event, Carol Morris of the United States crowned Gladys Zender of Peru as Miss Universe 1957. Zender was the first representative of Peru to win the contest.
After being crowned, it was revealed that Zender was only seventeen years old, five months under the contest's minimum age requirement of eighteen. Pageant officials decided that she could keep the crown after they were told she was considered to be eighteen in her country due to an old custom explained to them by the then-Peruvian ambassador to the United States, Fernando Berckemeyer Pazos.[1]
Contestants from thirty-two countries and territories competed in this year's pageant. The pageant was hosted by Bob Russell for the sixth time.
