Discover the individuals competing in this year’s Miss USA pageant and get to know the 51 contestants.
The 73rd edition of Miss USA 2024 will be broadcast live on Sunday, August 4th. Fifty-one contestants from each state in the U.S. and the District of Columbia will vie for the coveted title of Miss USA and the opportunity to represent the country at the Miss Universe 2024 competition in Mexico later in the year.
This year, a new regulation allows women aged 28 and above to join the competition, making Miss Arizona K Johnson, at 41, the oldest participant to vie for the title. Previously, the age range was limited to those between 18 and below 28 years old.
The competition will take place at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles and will be aired on The CW for the second consecutive year. The host for the event will be Garcelle Beauvais from the Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. Miss USA 2023, Savannah Gankiewicz of Hawaii, will pass on her crown to the next winner at the end of the evening.
