One of my favourite site sections since I created Pageant Update, the top fives page (or top three, or four, or six!) is your place to compare the official “court” photos from each state. It’s a celebration of our winners and runners-up for each Miss USA 2011 state pageant. Many 2011 runners-up later went on to compete at Miss USA, from the many who won in 2012 to Jenny Valliere, who represented Iowa at Miss USA 2018. Four went on to compete for states that were different to those where they were finalists in 2011. Who else would you have loved to see on the Miss USA stage?
