Preliminary Frontrunners and Final Predictions for the Miss USA 2024 Pageant
We are just a couple hours away from finding out who will be the next Miss USA! Here are my predictions for who to watch based on first impressions and the preliminary competitions in evening gown and swimwear. There are 51 Miss USA state delegates from across the United States competing for the crown. See their official headshots and a brief introduction to the contestants here:
The preliminaries were held for the interview, fitness, and evening wear competitions. Although there has been no inside information given about what happened during interviews, the preliminary swimwear and evening gown competitions were telecast on the Miss USA Youtube channel. Here are my predictions based on what we were shown so far, and the contestants poise, style, and stage modeling in preliminaries.
