Miss Universe 1957, the 6th Miss Universe pageant, was held on 19 July 1957 in Long Beach, California, United States. In this pageant, 32 contestants competed. Gladys Zender of Peru won the competition, becoming the first Latin American woman to be crowned as Miss Universe, and was crowned by Carol Morris of the United States.
Gage was also stripped of her title and was replaced by Charlotte Sheffield, but Sheffield was unable to compete because the preliminary competition had already taken place with Gage competing, marking the first (and as of 2017, only) time that a Miss USA would not compete at Miss Universe. Sheffield would compete at Miss World 1957, but was unplaced.
