Miss Universe 1953, the 2nd Miss Universe pageant, was held on 17 July 1953 at the Long Beach Municipal Auditorium in Long Beach, California, United States. Contestants from 26 countries competed in the pageant, which was held concurrently with the Miss USA 1953 event. 17-year-old[1][2] Christiane Martel from France won the competition, becoming the second Miss Universe. The previous titleholder, Armi Kuusela, resigned before her reign ended, and therefore Martel was crowned by actress Julie Adams.[3]
