Your ultimate Miss USA 2025 resource
Follow the Miss USA 2025 contestants from winning their state titles to competing on the national stage in Reno, Nevada. 2025 is a year of change and hope for fans of the Miss USA and Miss Teen USA pageants, with Thom Brodeur acquiring the franchise and swiftly bringing the glam and excitement back into the national pageants.
There are still repercussions from the previous owner's abandonment of the organisation however, with eight state titleholders selected by a casting call after no state directors were appointed for those states. This is reflected in the titleholder hometown map.
The 2025 contestants are more diverse than ever, with a third being over the previous age limit of 28. They advocate for a wide range of causes from alopecia awareness, to maternal mental health, digitial literacy and more.
