Itâs officially pageant night, people; and yep, âMiss USAâ is back and ready to shine. The 74th Annual âMiss USA 2025â Pageant kicks off tonight, and itâs promising plenty of glitz, confidence, and maybe even a few jaw-dropping moments (because letâs be real, thatâs half the fun). Fifty-one contestants (representing every U.S. state and territory) are hitting the stage at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada, to compete for the crown, the title, and a chance to represent the USA at âMiss Universe 2025â.
But this year, itâs not just another show full of sequins and sash struts. The pageantâs entering a new chapter with CEO Thom Brodeur now leading the charge. And from the sound of it, heâs all about mixing legacy with a little modern magic. Brodeur told People, âI’m just really excited about the opportunity my team and I have to help bring back the iconography that Miss USA and Miss Teen USA were once known for.â It seems like heâs ready to give the competition its glitter and its soul back; and honestly, weâre here for it.

If youâve been following the pre-show buzz this week, you know the energyâs been off the charts. The early rounds went down on October 21 and 22, setting the stage for tonightâs grand finale. Contestants have been serving fierce looks, flawless walks, and the kind of confidence that could probably power Renoâs entire grid.
Hosting tonightâs show are two faces who know a thing or two about commanding attention: Olivia Jordan, who snagged the Miss USA 2015 crown, and Emmanuel Acho, the former NFL linebacker turned TV host who made waves on âThe Bachelor: After the Final Roseâ special. Itâs the perfect mix; her pageant polish and his smooth, unflappable charm. Together, theyâre sure to keep things moving with just the right balance of heart and humor.
And letâs talk about this judging panel for a second, because itâs stacked:
- Nia Sanchez, âMiss USA 2014â winner and fan favorite
- Jade Roper Tolbert, âThe Bachelorâ alum with an eye for authenticity
- Sasha Farber, âDancing with the Starsâ pro (so expect him to notice every perfect posture and pointed toe)
- Kenneth Barlis, designer extraordinaire
- Hannah Edwards, model scout and industry insider
Let’s be real; thatâs not just a judging panel. It’s a powerhouse of style, substance, and serious expertise.
