Her headshot is not one of my favorites, simply because it gives me kind of cold and unapproachable, however I am adoring what I'm seeing from Grace lately



Honestly, when it comes to Grace, it's pretty much an internal battle of how much sash matters. She has the worst sash in the country, but she's one of the faces of the competition and has a killer resume. She'll remain on my list, but not very high on it, for the time being. We'll see if she brings it to prelims

We should have just focused on their natural beauty with some sun kissed light and color, lol.


Pageants NW posted color versions of all their girls, and I really hope we get color versions of all contestants. It's 10 times better.



These are SOOOOO much better. The B&W versions are of course more high fashion but this is Miss USA not America's Next Top Model, I don't want to sacrifice being able to really see the girls in favor of mystery and high-fashion.

I also have a bit of faceblindness where it's hard to tell faces apart when they aren't in color, so it's not helpful for me lol.

Nebraska obliterated everyone with her headshot. Hawaii and Kentucky (looks like Pia W) also standout.

Best 5 headshots
DC - I like seeing a more natural photo of her like this. She is always too airbrushed.
Kansas - She does not get enough credit. Her face is perfect and she is consistent. Huge threat to the crown.
Kentucky - Another consistent girl. Beautiful shot and different from her typical slicked back pony. She looks similar to Washington in these photos.
Mississippi - Best blonde. I’m afraid she is too thin sometimes and it shows here on her back.
New Jersey - Love the angle. She is the most photogenic of the bunch. I think she is the biggest dark horse in the competition.

Just ok:
Nebraska - I think she is a pretty girl but she looks so different in her true candid photos. I’m afraid she might not be as consistent in person and on stage.
Texas - I don’t feel like this is a good photo of her. Yes, she is beautiful but something feels off.
Vermont - I want to love this photo but it’s too harsh. She will place no doubt.

Watched this video several times, and these are my favorite shots

Arizona
Arkansas
Connecticut
Delaware - I always look at the girls NECK! The more graceful a girl's neck is, the more she looks high fashion and beautiful!
DC
Hawaii
Kentucky
Maine
Maryland
Mississippi
Nebraska
South Carolina
Vermont - has a very elfin, editorial face I like, reminds me of Alessandra Ambrosio
Washington
Wisconsin

Not really feeling R'bonney here. Sorry Mother Mocha.
I know Kansas looks better than that. Bad photo too.

Maybe my feelings will change if they did use the colored photos, but obviously, there are more than handful of girls who did really, really great.

Glad I'm not the only one disappointed by Texas. Just a kind of mid-tier and forgettable headshot, which is not what I expect from her.

Texas is gorgeous obviously she just leaves me cold, like Florida last year.
I like Kansas but her photo is horrendous her features look odd in it. Delaware’s photo would be one of the best if her eyes weren’t so dead looking. Oregon’s photo is kind of amazing and very striking too bad she doesn’t look anything close to that in person.
I feel like an antm fan again judging these photos. Nebraska easily gets first call out, she is a supermodel in her photo. Oregon second. Hawaii and Kentucky third and fourth they both look like covergirls, exotic and approachable.

I honestly like this photo of Kansas more than I like any other photos of Kansas, I've never been a fan but in this pic I really like her

I actually still don't know how to judge the photos, haha.

It's because of the ANTM conundrum where there are some photos that are haunting and good fashion photos, but not good for showcasing their beauty. I'll use Delaware as the prime example - her eyes are dead and it's kind of haunting, but it works well in the B&W filter to make her look stunning and a bit mysterious.

I've been a bit harsh on Kansas, but I like her here. However, I did laugh out loud a bit because QOTC and I have consistently talked about how she can never not give 100/10 fierce and it's SUCH an intense photo yet again.

My Top 16 in headshots:

Alabama
Arizona
Delaware
District of Columbia
Illinois
Kansas
Maine
Maryland
Nebraska
Nevada
New Hampshire
North Carolina
Oregon
Tennessee
Texas
Vermont

Some of them are gorgeous but it's obvious they've had their lips redone (like Arkansas) and this photoshoot proves it. As you all know, I prefer queens who don't have plastic surgery...
TOP 5 for Miss Universe 2024 :

Oh wow. The colored photos definitely made the girls look very different.

My favorite colored ones:
Arizona
Delaware
DC
Hawaii
Illinois
Kentucky
Nebraska
New Mexico
New Hampshire
Ohio - GURL SLAYED ME WITH THOSE EYEEEESS
Tennesee
Vermont
Washington

If I was tyra and I am to do a FCO hands, its a triple tie between DC, Nebraska and Ohio.

That strand of hair on Maine's photo ruined the shot, she looks like she's drooling.
Weirdly Kansas looked worse in this colored photo. Those lips are projected very weirdly. Same with Texas. She is like a prettier Riza Santos.
Maryland looked better in B&W too.
Oklahoma looks like Megan Markle.

Okay, now that these are in color, I can judge these better! My top 16 favorites are:

- Arizona
- Delaware
- DC
- Georgia
- Illinois
- Maryland
- Michigan
- Mississippi
- New Hampshire
- New Mexico
- New York
- North Carolina
- South Carolina
- Vermont
- Virginia
- Washington

These are just my favorite photos. I still like Hawaii, Kentucky, and Nebraska (among others), but they're just a little bit off in their headshots or are a bit too sexy for me.

I'm so so glad they released these all in color! Seriously so much better.

And for my favorites... Note: This is not a prediction of who I think will place in any way, just my favorite headshots

Arizona - incredibly striking, I love the facial expression and the hair placement. One of the photos you're instantly drawn to.

Colorado - This is a really really good photo of her. I ordinarily am not that big a fan, but this pic is fantastic and makes her look like a frontrunner.

Connecticut - Connecticut is one of those contestants who I basically forget about most of the time, but once in a while she gives us something unforgettable. She did it with the best Cancun arrival photo IMO, and she's giving it to us again with my favorite headshot in the whole batch. She has an intensity on her facial expression, but a warmness in her eyes. The locks of hair in her face give her a bit more of a relaxed demeanor without being too much. I am obsessed with this photo, she knows how to work a camera.

Georgia - Slayed. She should probably be on my list since I'm absolutely loving what she's giving lately. She looks like a Universe contender here.

Hawaii - Did a great job at giving us both sexy & cute at the same time. I love the over the shoulder look, and you just want to see what she does next.

Illinois - She comes off a bit plastic sometimes, but she comes off as way more authentic in this picture. It's another great photo, and I could see her in a Top 5.

Kentucky - This one might almost be TOO sexy for Miss USA, but I love it. Those eyes tell a story.

Michigan - Slayed. I love this aura a lot more than the Disney princess thing she does sometimes, and I hope this is what she brings to Miss USA

Mississippi - The half-smile, the eyes, everything just screams frontrunner in the Crystle era for me.

Nebraska - Y'all know I'm a big Nebraska stan and she BROUGHT IT. One of my absolute favorite headshots, just a natural in front of the camera and an unforgettable headshot. There's a reason her headshot is unanimously adored, and it's well earned.

New Jersey - Pure water nymph queen energy. She's one of my favorite contestants of the year and photos like this perfectly explain why. I love the behind-the-shoulder pose, not that many girls did that and it works

Oregon - Everything about this photo screams CLASSIC to me. Arielle is a sentimental fave of mine, and this is one of the best photos of her I've ever seen. Her directorship will probably do her in, but here she looks ready to win.

South Dakota - The makeup is a little too heavy for my taste, but she's screaming high fashion here. If you told me she was a renowned supermodel, I'd believe you.

Tennessee - Beautifully serene, a great picture.

Virginia - Virginia's been rising up my list lately, and this photo is no exception. Just absolutely stunning and unreal, one of my fav headshots of the whole batch.

They were on E News last year as well. Def a good sign of things to come, I think if they crown the right girl and have proper prep time before Universe this year, we could see Miss USA in the Top 5 again finally

Fan voting is open, and I'm not sure I love the fact that how many votes each contestant has is visible to everyone. Currently, Connecticut has a major lead of over 2000 votes, but couldn't someone just wait til the last second, make a big vote purchase, and ensure their contestant of choice is in first place?

I noticed that too lol. It reminds me of what some state pageants do with their fan vote, which is, uh, kind of cringe. Maybe I'll save all my money to give a shit load of votes to Delaware at the end of voting to ensure she places lol.

These are so much better, I can actually tell everyone apart. Thomas is going to scream when I say this, but I actually really prefer the official photos at Miss France though lol. Obviously all the girls at Miss USA look good here, but I just think the whole photoshoot is too complicated. The wet hair, the 2/3s submerged in water, it's like a fashion editorial and not a headshot. In my opinion, headshots should be simple and just show each girl looking their best, with minimal distractions from the girl themselves, and that's exactly what Miss France does. I think some girls are even confused whether they should be posing for a headshot or for a fashion editorial. Delaware is a prime example, that's a stunning photo but it is not a great headshot because she kind of looks dead in the eyes. Last year's were better imo.

But I also don't like how much makeup and airbrushing they use on these photos, of course it means every girl looks good but it also means that a lot of girls don't look like themselves.

Anyways, my favorite photos:
Arkansas
Connecticut
Delaware
Hawaii
Iowa – she reminds me of Snow White here
Maryland
Massachusetts
Mississippi – I already loved her but I REALLY fell in love with her after this photo
Nebraska – the #1 photo in the batch imo
North Carolina
Pennsylvania
Utah
Virginia – she has quickly been rising on my list
Washington

I thought Arizona looked better in B&W. Totally agreed that that extra strand of hair ruins Maine's photo and makes it look like she's drooling.

I mean, the contest has only been open for a day. Yeah, someone already dropped $4000 on her, but someone else may get a big donation in the coming months

These are so much better, I can actually tell everyone apart. Thomas is going to scream when I say this, but I actually really prefer the official photos at Miss France though lol. Obviously all the girls at Miss USA look good here, but I just think the whole photoshoot is too complicated. The wet hair, the 2/3s submerged in water, it's like a fashion editorial and not a headshot. In my opinion, headshots should be simple and just show each girl looking their best, with minimal distractions from the girl themselves, and that's exactly what Miss France does. I think some girls are even confused whether they should be posing for a headshot or for a fashion editorial. Delaware is a prime example, that's a stunning photo but it is not a great headshot because she kind of looks dead in the eyes. Last year's were better imo.

But I also don't like how much makeup and airbrushing they use on these photos, of course it means every girl looks good but it also means that a lot of girls don't look like themselves.

Anyways, my favorite photos:
Arkansas
Connecticut
Delaware
Hawaii
Iowa – she reminds me of Snow White here
Maryland
Massachusetts
Mississippi – I already loved her but I REALLY fell in love with her after this photo
Nebraska – the #1 photo in the batch imo
North Carolina
Pennsylvania
Utah
Virginia – she has quickly been rising on my list
Washington

I thought Arizona looked better in B&W. Totally agreed that that extra strand of hair ruins Maine's photo and makes it look like she's drooling.


I don't scream at all and I agree with you. I didn't say that I wanted our official photos to look like yours, I was just saying that in France, it would be impossible in any case to have this kind of photos because Miss France Org is very prudish. I was speaking in general. Lol Miss France is against nudity and locked in the 80s with the glorification of one-piece swimsuits everywhere. Otherwise, I am very satisfied with the official photos at Miss France and I don't want to change that! :D/

I don't know if anyone cares about this, but I'm a former sorority girl so I love 'Bama Rush Tok on TikTok – if you don't know, 'Bama Rush Tok is the TikTok community for girls at the University of Alabama rushing sororities, which went viral last year and again this year – and this year Miss Ohio Teen USA was one of the major stars of 'Bama Rush Tok. She went completely viral, she has about 500,000 followers on TikTok now and over 100,000 on Instagram, and almost all of her TikToks are getting over 1 million views. She was probably the biggest star of 'Bama Rush Tok 2022 in general, and I didn't even realize she was a current state titleholder lol.

She is also a total sweetheart, like obviously I don't know her personally but she just radiates sweet and nice energy, so I think she may be someone to watch at Miss Teen USA later this year.

As a former IMG/Elite SUPERMODEL in my prime, these headshots are a big disappointment. Most look like a Brazzers porn star model. The wet look concept looks like some of them are ready for their CLOSE UP (giggles)

I think she is very underrated. She's very cute and I can see her in a Top 15/16 considering how this batch doesn't have too many obvious placers.

Am I the only one who isn't at all a New Mexico fan? She's definitely in the bottom third of contestants for me
