Miss World 1955 was the fifth Miss World pageant, held at the Lyceum Ballroom in London, United Kingdom, on 20 October 1955. At the conclusion, English actress Eunice Gayson crowned Susana Duijm of Venezuela as Miss World 1955, the country’s first victory. Antigone Costanda (Miss World 1954) did not attend due to hostilities between Egypt and the United Kingdom over the Suez Canal. Twenty-one countries participated. The pageant was hosted by Eric Morley.
