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 2021 state pageant. Many have already won 2022 and 2023 state titles, check back to see which other runners-up will go on to compete at Miss USA!
