Notes:
- In 1985, there were nine preliminary judges who each gave the contestants a score of 2, 3, or 4. This meant that each contestant could receive a minimum score of 18 and a maximum of 36.
- The 1985 rules required that at least one contestant from each continent advanced to the top 15 semi-final round. This is why Miss Zaire (with a score of 24) qualified, while both Miss Finland and Miss Singapore (score of 26) did not.
