With the final crowning this evening Desiree Williams became the second Miss Virginia titleholder to win Miss Virginia USA and the first MAO titleholder to win this year (Kristi Glakas is the third to represent Virginia at both Miss USA and America, but won Miss VA USA first). She is also the third 2015 1RU to win tonight! The new Teen titleholder is newcomer Gracyn Blackmore of Bristol. Desi's win means Virginia's six-year blonde streak has finally been broken.

The entire top five had competed previously. Two-time semi-finalist Delesia Watson placed first runner-up, rocking a bright coral-red ballgown and an afro... she was totally spunky and full of personality, and won Miss Photogenic as well, I really do hope we see her back. Second runner-up was Hannah Uhlig who was also second runner-up at Miss VA Teen USA 2010 but hasn't made the cut in her two pageants since. Miss Virginia Teen USA 2013 Caelynn Miller-Keyes placed third runner-up and three-time Louisiana semi-finalist Alexis Johnson was fourth runner-up.
The top thirteen included 2015 second runner-up Jamie Hughes, Miss Virginia Teen USA 2010 Jacqueline Carroll, and former Virginia Teen runners-up Destani Huffman and Ashley Vollrath.
In addition to Gracyn, the first through third runners-up in Teen were all competing for the first time. In order they were Maggie Laughlin, Mary McGeorge, and Kaitlyn Shaw. 2015 fourth runner-up Lexi Crosen repeated her placement from last year.
