Myshimarina (Marina) Papaelia (Greek: Μαρίνα Παπαηλία, born c. 1931) was the first runner-up of Miss Egypt 1953.[1] Papelia was sent to represent Egypt at Miss World 1953 when the winner, Antigone Costanda was unable to participate in the pageant. Papaelia finished at third place.[2]
According to Eric Morley's 1967 book, "The Miss World Story", when Antigone Costanda won the Miss World pageant the following year, she claimed her victory was also a victory for Marina Papaelia.[citation needed]
