The always-fabulous Miss USA pageant competition was held on May 21 this year, and we swooned over all of the incredible gowns donned by the beautiful contestants that came from every corner of the country. From fitted sheaths to dramatic ballgowns, it seemed like every silhouette, material and neckline was present for the event this year!
Whether you're a pageant girl hoping to one day ascend to the ranks of the Miss USA contestants, or you're a gal who wants to look killer at your next prom or formal event, we could all take a few notes from the women at the top of the pageant game! We've chosen a few of our favorite looks from that night and paired them with a similar dress you can buy, so you can totally channel that famous Miss USA glamour anytime! All of the dresses are available for purchase on the All the Rage website!
1. Miss Oklahoma USA, Cheyenne Darling
Miss Oklahoma USA, Cheyenne Darling, certainly looks like a darling in this shiny red number!
Our Pick:
Primavera Couture #3015
Our pick steals the sheath silhouette, leg slit and shiny red style from Miss Oklahoma's fiery dress, but also adds more flavor with some intricately-patterned beading. It also has straps, as opposed to the strapless style of the other dress, for those of you who prefer more comfort and security!
2. Miss Iowa USA, Jenny Valliere
What's not to love about this sweet, fitted lace gown? It made Miss Iowa USA look like an angel!
Our Pick:
Jovani #41592
Our pick for this dress features the same sultry sheer-lace style, but with some fun ruffled details on the skirt. With all of the sparkle on this dress, it certainly feels fit for any pageant, prom, or even a dreamy wedding!
3. Miss Arkansas USA, Lauren Weaver
We admire the clean, yet fabulous simplicity of Miss Arkansas USA's gorgeous Grecian gown.
Our Pick:
Sherri Hill #51802
Our pick features the same simple style, rendered in a luxe, shiny satin that is sure to make you shine at your pageant or event. We especially love the illusion plunging neckline paired with the embellished high collar. In this gown, you'll look and feel like a Greek goddess!
4. Miss Idaho USA, Téa Draganovic
Talk about drama! Imagine how fabulous this dress looks in motion with all of that sparkling fringe!
Our Pick:
Sherri Hill #52081
We're taking fringe to the next level with our cheeky pick for Miss Idaho USA's funky gown. This golden, two-piece beauty will make you the center of attention as every bit of fringe moves with every step you take. Paired with the fun leg slit, this dress would make anybody want to shimmy and dance!
5. Miss Tennessee USA, Alexandra Harper
This dress oozes pure luxury and old-Hollywood glamour and pairs beautifully with Miss Tennessee USA's winning smile!
Our Pick:
Jovani #57932
Our pick for this dress channels that same jewel-encrusted, luxurious look with its plentiful glitter and rhinestone embellishments. Although it lacks the same ethereal overskirt on Miss Tennessee's gown, it more than makes up for it with its incredible sparkles and flattering deep-V neckline.
