Celebrating Power, Beauty & Ambition

“MISS USA® and MISS TEEN USA® celebrate the power, beauty, and ambition of today’s women,” the organization’s website states. “More than a competition, these iconic brands provide a national stage for leadership, style, and purpose — where confidence meets opportunity.”
Since its founding in 1952, Miss USA has become one of the country’s most recognized pageants, with winners going on to represent the United States at Miss Universe. The organization is preparing to celebrate its 75th anniversary in 2026.
Established in 1983, Miss Teen USA continues to empower the next generation by offering academic scholarships, modeling contracts, brand partnerships, and leadership opportunities.
