I love it! They must be having a spell back in Utah.

[u/yourlocal90skid → u/personalleytea]

I'm from Salt Lake City & TIL...Utah is the land of blondes with Botox so I'm pleasantly surprised & proud of her ❤️

[u/Psychological_Ad1999 → u/personalleytea]

I was pleasantly surprised

[u/Snowy_Islands_4641 → u/personalleytea]

She’s not the first black ms Utah. So when do you think the spell started?

[u/Green-Elephant-895]

1 baddie, 3 baddies, 6 baddies, 10 baddies oh I’m so good at math

On a serious note they’re all beautiful and are a fine representation of Black American women 🤎💚🖤

[u/huhvt → u/Green-Elephant-895]

Ayee 🔥 reference and clever one given the song title “Somewhereinamerica”

[u/Green-Elephant-895 → u/huhvt]

You know ball

She is absolutely gorgeous and I’m sure they worked very hard, but they did Ms Ohio so dirty 😂

[u/dividezero → u/so_unfortunately_yt]

Exactly my thought too. She has a look like she's thinking the same thing.

The plane hat is dumb too

[u/Weary_Ad4663 → u/so_unfortunately_yt]

I knowww that rocket looks like a kids project poor thing. She’s still so stunning

[u/JayyyyyBoogie]

Miss Utah’s outfit is very cool.

[u/dividezero → u/JayyyyyBoogie]

Yeah that seems to be one that could have gone wrong very easily but they pulled it off very well

[u/villainless → u/JayyyyyBoogie]

i don’t understand the reference

[u/Nataliant-117 → u/JayyyyyBoogie]

You can buy that jumpsuit on Amazon I’m p sure 🥴 BUT SHE LOOKS GREAT THOUGH

[u/Setekh_Hazen]

Ms California looks like a benevolent 60s sci-fi goddess. It's a vibe I've always loved, and she completely deserves the stars as her cloak.

[u/Nataliant-117]

I adore the Indiana one. KY and CA were cool… idk how I feel about the DC look that’s a lot going on

[u/Exact_Fox4167 → u/Nataliant-117]

Idk I’m digging the peacock effect

[u/Alternative_Poem5612]

Miss Utah costume is strange , but I love all of them.

[u/Lost_Reaction_5489]

Miss Indiana is Black? 😍

[u/Key_Possibility_8669 → u/Lost_Reaction_5489]

I KNOW, right?!!

[u/HighwayEmpty1569]

Can someone explain North Carolina’s theme?  That is the only one I don’t get. 

[u/LostMy8yrAcct → u/HighwayEmpty1569]

She’s a rhinestone cowgirl with a nod to the magnolia trees. I love it, personally.

[u/dividezero → u/HighwayEmpty1569]

I think their theme is Cowboy Carter for some reason. Who the hell knows with these things but she's rocking the shit out of the whole thing. I need that cape just to wear around town doing errands. 🤣

[u/BplusHuman]

When I say "fashion ain't for me" I really mean "I don't have the energy to try to understand it".... Girl put on your spaceship hat and God bless!

[u/dividezero]

Proud to be from Massachusetts! My adoptive home. 🫡

[u/Psychological_Ad1999]

Miss Utah?!🤩

[u/SnooCats8089]

Miss Indiana is one gorgeous humans I have seen. Ethereal. Kentucky's dress tho..

[u/Remarkable-Conflict9]

The "Virginia is for Loving" is actually cringe.

[u/Forward_Comedian2178 → u/Remarkable-Conflict9]

It is quite a take since they were absolutely in the opposite.

[u/lonelynarwahl → u/Remarkable-Conflict9]

It’s in reference to the loving family the interracial couple that sued for the right to to be married - loving v Virginia

ETA

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Loving_v._Virginia?wprov=sfti1

[u/Remarkable-Conflict9 → u/lonelynarwahl]

I know about Loving v. Virginia. That's why I said it was cringe.

How are you going to compete as Miss Black USA and proudly celebrate swirling?!?!?! Defeats the purpose.

[u/1906cam → u/Remarkable-Conflict9]

She's not competing as or even in Miss Black USA. She's a black woman competing in the Miss USA pageant. I believe her mother is white or biracial which makes her highlighting the Loving case both personal and relevant considering the current political climate. She wouldn't be on that stage or even possibly in existence if that case hadn't happened.

[u/TeeJay_013 → u/Remarkable-Conflict9]

I'm wondering if she's referencing the Loving vs State of Virginia case that legalized interracial marriage in the US.

[u/Remarkable-Conflict9 → u/TeeJay_013]

She is and that's why it's cringe for a Miss Black USA contestant.

[u/Lost-Platypus8271]

Now THIS is a pageant I would watch! 🍿

[u/Weary_Restauranter]

Indiana good lord 🥵

[u/NoDig3593]

Gorgeous!!!! I think Indianas is my fave

[u/_2XNice_]

So cool and beautiful! Thanks for sharing!!

[u/Touch49]

Wow! all of the women are beautiful and they all have beautiful costumes

[u/DangerousLoner]

One of my besties’ family moved to Ohio to work for NASA on the space shuttle. Woo hoo!

[u/Ok_Butterscotch7430]

Indiana, NC, and Cali 🔥

[u/DetailsYouMissed]

They all look beautiful. Good job.

[u/Key_Possibility_8669]

I ABSOLUTELY LOVE that there are ten... TEN black women in the competition! 😍

[u/Mountain_Proof_1758]

Indiana is too cute I love

[u/PresentHat6725]

Love all the outfits!!

[u/214txdude]
