Cheslie Kryst from North Carolina was crowned the new Miss USA in front of a worldwide audience at Sierra Resort and Casino's Grand Theatre in Reno Tahoe. The two-hour special programming event aired live on FOX.
The event was made possible with the support of Reno Tahoe, Grand Sierra Resort and Casino, Nevada Division of Tourism, CHI Haircare, Sherri Hill, Lauren Lorraine, Victoria Duke Beauty, and Sinesia Karol.
The winner is a full-time complex litigation attorney who is licensed to practice law in two states. She earned both her law degree and an MBA from Wake Forest University and graduated cum laude with a bachelor's degree from the Honors College at the University of South Carolina. The 28-year-old is a former Division I athlete, having competed in the heptathlon, long jump and triple jump on South Carolina's track and field team. The Charlotte native runs a fashion blog, “White Collar Glam,” that focuses on workwear fashion for women and is an active volunteer for Dress for Success, the release says.
The all-women selection committee panel included entrepreneurs, business leaders, industry experts, and former pageant titleholders. They oversaw both the preliminary and final rounds, a new format that has allowed the panel to better understand what each contestant wants to pursue both personally and professionally, the release adds.
Actress, host and former pageant winner Vanessa Lachey and multi-Platinum recording artist and television personality Nick Lachey returned as hosts for the annual event. Supermodel and pageant expert Lu Sierra provided analysis and commentary throughout the live telecast. Grammy award winning singer, songwriter and producer T-Pain performed and along with his hosting duties, the show also included a very special performance from Nick Lachey.
“Throughout the show, contestants participated in swimsuit, evening gown, final question and final word. During the Top 5 final question round, the women were asked questions formed from their fellow contestants. The event concluded with Miss USA 2018 Sarah Rose Summers crowning Cheslie Kryst her successor, chosen from representatives of all 50 states and the District of Columbia. Cheslie will go on to represent the US in the Miss Universe pageant later this year,” says the release.
The other two reigning beauties are first runner-up, Miss New Mexico USA Alejandra Gonzalez and second runner-up, Miss Oklahoma USA Triana Browne.
