Miss USA 2014 Recap! We have got the details to catch you up on the Miss USA 2014 Beauty Pageant!

51 BEAUTIFUL ladies represented each state of the USA, and they represented well! They were all absolutely gorgeous, polished, and made for a fierce competition!

The Baton Rouge theme, was outstanding, the production had a wonderful set up, great energy, and tons and tons of spunk and bubbly personality in the air! It was exactly what a fun beauty pageant representing the USA should be!

All the sparkling state queens came out in a parade style introduction to represent their state very, loud and proud! Some of the ladies proceeded in yelling their personal introductions, as if they were cheerleaders at a football game, which was not the most pleasing or graceful thing to hear. Maybe the music could've been taken down a notch, so the introductions could've been more graceful.

Miss Louisiana was a stand out, the audience went WILD as soon as the spot light was on her, which continued throughout the event. Miss Maryland forgot to move her mask aside during her introduction, a big beauty queen blunder considering this was her one shot on the stage. 

Judges: Allie LaForce, Rumor Willis, Barbara Palacios, Lance Bass, Ian Zeiring, Melissa Peterman, Dolvett Quince, Randy Couture, Karl Malone.

I know what you're thinking, the judge line up is extremely interesting, and controversial to say the least. Everyone and their best friend on Twitter was sure to let the world know that this judge roundup was confusing.

Remember Miss USA 2012? Lets try that judge lineup again for 2015.... Joe Jonas, George Kotsiopoulos, Ali Fedotowsky, Rob Kardashian... Now that is a Miss USA judge lineup!  So for 2015 there are a lot of new Bachlorettes available to judge, bring Rob Kardashian back, Kevin Jonas, that guy from 'I want to marry Harry', and most importantly TODD CHRISLY!


The Top 20 Miss USA contestants were chosen, and we got to hear a little bit about them through hometown visit clips featuring the brilliant beauties. The two that stood out the most were Miss Florida, and Miss Pennsylvania. Miss Florida let us know her father passed about three years ago, and how much he loved her and would love to see her on at Miss USA. It was extremely heart warming, he was with you girl!

Miss Pennsylvania spoke about how her mother was a rape victim and she was the product of that terrible experience. She totally deserved every second on that stage to share her bold story, she is unbelievably gorgeous and it speaks volumes about her and her mother through her testimony. She can bring so much inspiration and hope to so many people on such a serious topic!

Swimsuit Competition:
The Miss USA swimsuits were designed by Kandice Pelletier Swimwear, Kandice was Miss Cobb County in 2001, and Miss New York in 2005! You go girl! But I think we can all agree that the swimwear looked like lingerie.

Florida Georgia Line accompanied the contestants in the swim wear round performing their hit song, "Cruise", along with a special performance from Nelly! Florida Georgia Line was definitely the right choice of musical talent for the evening!

After the swimwear round, where Miss Indiana becoming famous for having a "Normal" figure, the contestants moved into the Evening Gown competition.

Miss Wisconson Bishara Dorre, wore the only bright yellow gown, she stood out bright and bold among the other contestants. White is usually my favorite pick for the formal competition, as long as you are the only one wearing white, much like a wedding. But this time quite a few of the ladies chose white, and so the spotlight was not in their favor.

Favorite gowns: Miss Florida, Miss Georgia, and Miss Iowa.

The Top 6 contestants were then pulled, and it was time for the big question, the moment we all wait to see if there will be a new youtube sensation. Which in fact the Miss USA Organization pleasantly made a montage of the youtube sensation moments.

Meanwhile Miss Iowa gave an uncomfortable answer to her question, by agreeing that the younger generation online are a bunch of little narcissist. I suppose she forgot that only moments before, the only reason she even made it into the top 6 is because the online narcissist generation voted her through. A good reminder to take a breathe and think before you speak! 

Miss Nevada however delivered the perfect answer, one that can forever be referred to when anyone wants to know how to achieve the perfect beauty queen answer!

So it was no surprise when Miss Nevada, Nia Sanchez took home the crown in her red gown. She looked stunning, she is so beautiful! Nia clearly spoke about women's confidence every time she had the opportunity. We would all have that confidence as well if we had 4 black belts like Nia! We should all go take lessons now!

 We are happy to have Nia Sanchez as our new Miss USA 2014!
