Selection of participants

Contestants from thirty-five countries and territories were selected to compete in the pageant. Two contestants were selected to replace the original dethroned winner.

Replacements

Luz Marina Zuluaga, the first runner-up of Señorita Colombia 1957, was appointed to replace Señorita Colombia 1957 Doris Inés Gil after it was discovered that the latter was already married.[2] June Cooper was supposed to represent England in this edition, but was dethroned after it was discovered that she did not meet the minimum age requirement.[3] Due to the dethronement of Cooper, a separate contest was held to pick a new representative of England to the contest. Wendy Peters won this contest, but was also dethroned after it was discovered that she was previously married.[4] Due to this, the pageant organizers decided to appoint Dorothy Hazeldine as the representative of England in this edition.[5]

Debuts, returns, and withdrawals

This edition saw the debuts of Colombia, Poland, and Suriname, and the returns of Australia, British Guiana, Chile, Denmark, Holland, Norway, Singapore, the United States, and the West Indies. Denmark last competed in 1953, Australia and Singapore last competed in 1954, Norway and the West Indies last competed in 1955, while the others last competed in 1956.

Austria, Ceylon, Costa Rica, Iceland, Martinique, Morocco, the Philippines, Puerto Rico, and Turkey withdrew.

Despite being barred from the competition, Valverde was allowed to join the preliminary competition without being scored.[7][8] Carmen Remedios Tuason of the Philippines withdrew due to her family not allowing her to join the competition.[9] Miss Turkey 1958 Ezel Olcay withdrew from competition for unknown reasons but competed in the following edition.[10][11] Ceylon, Iceland, Martinique, Morocco and Puerto Rico withdrew after their respective organizations failed to hold a national competition or appoint a delegate.
