The new Miss USA for 2019 was named Wednesday night at the conclusion of the two-hour competition, broadcast live on FOX from the the Grand Sierra Resort and Casino’s Grand Theatre, located in Reno Tahoe.
Miss North Carolina Cheslie Kryst, 27, was crowned the new Miss USA 2019 after Miss Oklahoma Triana Browne was named second runner-up and Miss New Mexico Alejandra Gonzalez was named first runner-up,
Kryst is a full-time attorney with a law degree and an MBA from Wake Forest University. She is a civil litigation attorney who does pro bono work to reduce sentences for inmates.
She wowed the judges with her answer to the Final Word, which required the three finalists to describe their generation.
Her winning answer: “I would say that my generation is innovative. I am standing here in Nevada, in the state that has the first majority female legislature in the entire country. Mine is the first generation to have that forward-looking mindset that has inclusivity, diversity and strength and empowered women. I am looking forward to continuing progress with my generation.”
In addition, Kryst had an impressive video package that made it easy for her to gain entry into the Top 10.
In it she said, “I was in a law school competition when a judge told me to wear a skirt next time instead of pants because that is what the male judges prefer to see. I wanted feedback on my legal argument like the men in the competition but instead we talked about my pants. Since then, I’ve built a blog for women’s work wear fashion, volunteered for Dress for Success, earned my MBA, and built a career as an attorney because glass ceilings can be broken wearing either a skirt or pants.”
