For decades, black women were barred from #MissAmerica contests. Last week, for the first time, black women wore the crowns of all three major American pageants simultaneously. Cheslie Kryst, 28, won the Miss USA contest, and Kaliegh Garris, 18, won Miss Teen USA — joining Nia Franklin, 25, who was crowned as the 2019 @missamerica in September. The three wins are a powerful symbol of how much American views on beauty have evolved from a past marred by racism, even as some question the role that beauty pageants have in a #MeToo world at all. “It is important to little brown and black girls to see three strong figures, three strong women, African-American women that are doing so much great work,” Nia Franklin said on Saturday.

When Miss America hands you her crown...Be that girl that fixes another girl’s crown...And always wear your invisible crown! I wasn’t in my evening dress but this sequin embellished slip dress was a perfect runner up on a hot day on the boardwalk! It runs tts and I’m in an XS. My flip flips are made from recycled yoga mats!! I’ve actually had mine for 6 years and they’re still in perfect condition! They last forever it seems!

"We pick politicians by how they look on TV and Miss America on where she stands on the issues. Isn't that a little backwards?" - Jay Leno
