Miss USA 1987 - Crowning Moment

[@rishabhdeb]

Bob was such a wonderful host. Miss such incredible hosts at the beauty pageants these days.

[@dandomz]

I love the background music. "This Is Your Night" - used in Miss USA 1987-1994 and in Miss Universe 1987-1988

[@astoldbychrisv9464]

Me too! I wish they would bring it back for all of the competitions, and release a soundtrack.

[@timwilliams6111]

And at Miss Teen USA from 1987-1988.

[@glenncabacungan9269]

But is it a better song than “There she is, Miss America”?

[@prettyasiangirl7342]

where can we download that music?????

[@jja8750]

100% agree. It's just so fitting, and lovely, and celebratory.

[@MarlonDGandy]

Texas was a classic American beauty. She almost made me cry with her sincere emotional crowning ❤❤❤

[@Jukka70]

Definitely one of the most sincere emotions of excitement and gratitude

[@WarioBarker]

Probably best known as the last time Bob Barker was host, as he quit in a dispute with the pageant producers over the use of fur coats as prizes (he wanted them to drop said items, they refused).

[@MrRocktex1978]

Bob Barker was worth so much more than fur coat sponsorship money. It was the pageant's loss.

[@galileocan]

Miss Arizona was absolutely beautiful, and I think should have clearly won. She later got married to actor Barry Williams (Greg Brady) from the Brady Bunch TV show

[@Beniamino988]

5 years in a row win for Texas 1985,1986,1987,1988,1989

[@petewong2372]

Benjamin Ho Also 1995, 2001 & 2008

[@showmebear]

And 1977

[@misstee101]

From 85-89, they call the 'Five Aces'

[@mysticgirl916]

And then 2022

[@geraldinalagos]

I tried to buy this glorious classic miss USA crown, but I was almost scammed. The crown has originally twelve stars, and the one I almost buy has only nine. So watch out if you try to get it. This has been the most beautiful and regal crown ever. Along with the 1974-2001 Miss Universe chandelier crown.

[@rodomazit8012]

Miss Florida, una mujer muy hermosa, con un garbo que pocas misses proyectan.

[@michaelcanchola7447]

Espectacular final de Miss USA! Las cinco de jóvenes finalistas eran lindísimas... creo que este top 5 supera a cualquier certamen internacional de cualquier época!!! podían haber coronado a la 4a finalista! Todas estaban bellas!!! Recuerdo bien este certamen ya TODOS coincidimos en el gran parecido de Miss Georgia con Brooke Shields y Miss Arizona con Linda Carter!

[@TheMartirdz]

No creo tanto asi en 1983 y 1981 y 1986 y 1989 las finalistas de miss universo eran bellísimas

[@michaelcanchola7447]

​@@TheMartirdzEn esta final todo fue bello! La corona 👑de USA era bellisima! Las 5 finalistas coronables! Chrity Fitchner entregando corona y Barbara Palacios asistiendo con la banda... que mas se puede pedir? ...que Barbara portara el vestido de 1991 cuando le coloco la banda a Lupita Jones Garay...lo unico que cambiaria! Saludos!🍀

[@arnaldo1945]

Georgia and Arizona were very beautiful. Florida was stunning. The reigning Miss Universe, Barbara Palacios from Venezuela, had such an exotic, unique beauty and unforgettable charm and grace. She was WOW. And the two winners from Texas were fabulous. Those were the days.

[@diegomedeiros673]

Miss USA 1986 Just GORGEOUS ! Barbie doll !

[@paulaward2075]

Miss U.S.A.1986, looked like Christie Brinkley! Miss U.S.A.1986, should have won Miss Universe she was a lot more beautiful! But, she won first runmer up.

[@aldofuna2893]

3 years in a row win for Texas 1985,1986,1987

[@nicollewatterson4673]

.....1988-1989

[@manudassault3547]

Michelle was just the best

[@jeanc1858]

Florida is gorgeoussss

[@larkpraise]

I really liked Miss Missouri! She was so pretty.....natural....the girl next door!

[@Freptboy]

Beautiful woman Miss Texas!

[@tutango16]

Even the military are there. Back then people respected them but not anymore. ☹

[@gabichobarbieri3158]

She's so beautiful. I don't understand why she didn't win Miss Universe.

[@paulaward2075]

Miss U.S.A. 1987 was second runner up for Miss. Universe

[@AnnamariaMalipiero]

Feeling so blessed and thankful to you to have watched this, and I´d also like to request you to upload all from the very beginning until the end of Miss USA 1987. I do love this year, and YOUR NIGHT has still sealed in my cherished memory ^^

[@jorgeelvir9187]

¡Imágenes fantásticas para disfrutarlas a plenitud.porque Miss Texas estaba realmente bella,hermosa en todos sus aspectos!!! Su reacción verdaderamente emocionante.

[@zzrr61]

HERMOSA MISS TEXAS.

[@lttoverlord]

Did y'all see that when the girls rushed up to congratulate the winner, Miss Teen USA ran towards Florida? They must have gotten close during the pageant; she was even clapping hard when Florida was called into top 11.

[@cavalier9915]

Yes! In fact, when Texas and Florida were in the top 2, you can see Miss Teen USA practically jumping up and down--but she stops clapping when Texas takes her victory walk. She clearly wanted Florida to win!!

[@whorestpotathoe4]

yes, bcoz Miss Teen USA (1986) Allison Brown knew who is the real winner that's why she quickly run to Miss Florida.

[@eduardorojas5598]

El miss USA, lo hacen igual que el Miss Universo.- Hasta la misma musica.- Comprensible son los mismos dueños.

[@dolannoferreira9557]

Descobriu a POLVORA ! 😂😅

[@rupambra]

From Texas to Texas!!!

[@czarina6619]

From Texas to Texas to Texas

[@paulaward6764]

I live in Tyler, Texas!

[@justrelax1539]

I'm SHOCKED at how 5 STRAIGHT winners were from Texas, and NONE won Miss Universe! I STILL say Gretchen was robbed

[@bothornton5246]

Gretchen was my favorite of the Texas Aces. I would have loved for her to win Miss Universe, but the judges were fixated on Angela Visser. She could have been 1st runner-up instead of 2nd runner-up. I lived her better than Miss Sweden.

[@paulaward2075]

Miss U.S.A.. 1986, should have won Miss. Universe! She was a lot more beautiful! But, she won first runner up.

[@ficxify]

Barbara Palacios Miss Universe 86'!! =D

[@AdrianaRodrigez826]

Florida bella también. La emoción de Texas me encanta

[@felipearaneda745]

Miss Arizona the best!

[@andresland182]

For me the most beatiful of them all was Arizona

[@johnorlando9839]

AZ wore the same gown as AZ did in 1980. It worked for both girls.

[@diannefisher7985]

I loved Florida

[@Mybuddy95]

Please post the prize package please. My favorite part

[@liz5465]

Christie was beautiful!

[@paulaward2075]

Christie, Miss U.S.A. 1986, should have won Miss Universe! She was a lot more beautiful! But, she won first runner up.

[@sayasaya6140]

I love all Miss USA of Texas 1985-1989 Include 1995

[@mollycasas294]

AZ looked pissed

[@edgardiner217]

She was very arrogant as well.

[@TheMartirdz]

Una final muy reñida y calidad de competidores

[@milo3242]

Si. Me gustaban 4 de las 5 para ganadora.

[@tinhunter256]

This was when ms usa pageants were exciting and fabulous ..unlike now its boring and crappy

[@johnorlando9839]

The audience's reaction after AZ was called 2RU was exactly the same as when Michelle was called 2RU at MU. Many were happy Michelle didn't win MU.

[@edgardiner217]

John, why do you say that many were happy that Michelle didn't win MU? At least she wasn't arrogant like AZ. AZ's attitude was well noted by the judges.

[@metropromise5915]

I remember this, I was rooting for Texas but thought no way there could be a third straight TX win. I thought Arizona would win (I think she did too, she looked a bit shocked when she was announced as 2nd runner up.) Arizona could've made a serious run for Miss Universe.

[@lilytsui3015]

Metro Promise absolutely!! Arizona and Georgia are much more facially stunning than Texas. I think the Texas sash helped her a lot... I think Arizona would’ve placed first runner up if not won Miss Universe 1987. She truly would’ve done well! Same even for 2019... when New Mexico should’ve won!

[@lttoverlord]

Arizona ended up representing the US in a minor pageant: Miss Asia Pacific and was a semifinalist as well as the winner of Best in Swimsuit. Perhaps she should have been sent to Miss international instead.

[@rexmaricabagnot4135]

Well miss chile was unbeatable in miss universe 1987 so i doubt if arizona won miss usa if she could surpass miss chile.

[@paulcollins300]

Miss Nevada, Tammy Perkins is the prettiest!!!!! (She's the one that has the microphone and gives it to Bob Barker/first one to hug Michelle Royer.)

[@aprillong840]

I think Miss Georgia was the prettiest.

[@xanagu69]

@lianlaspinas Actually this was when it was on CBS.

[@MissUSAPageant]

Georgia should have won. Might they have read the results in reverse order by mistake? Or maybe the judges misunderstood if 1 was for first place, or the lowest score.

[@Jukka70]

I honestly didn't care for Georgia, but that's just an opinion. I mean obviously all of these women are amazing in one way or another

[@czarina6619]

1985 Texas, 1986 Texas, 1987 Texas...

[@edgardiner217]

1988 Texas, 1989 Texas😁

[@juancarlosriosvasquez6803]

Cuando las miss Usa eran todavia bonitas

[@moviesmusicvidfan]

Hmmmm... Arizona was prettiest for me. Texas was least beautiful for me :-(

[@rodrigoesteban8184]

[@dolcevitausa]

Sophia Bowen (GA) was SMOKIN' HOT...

[@ilangarcia5019]

She was on star search, but I don't remember if she won, very pretty girl.

[@brujis08]

Georgia got my vote

[@ZYDRUNAS70]

Cute

[@mollycasas5494]

And the 3 winners from Texas didn’t win the Miss Universe Pageant

[@johnorlando9839]

None of the TX winners from 1985-1989 won MU.

[@itsjemmabond]

​@@johnorlando9839But a Miss USA from Texas DID win in 1995!

[@AndreS-km6pp]

tripleta!

[@msrain1235]

She said that she didn't get her whole prize package.

[@itsjemmabond]

Really?

[@msrain1235]

@@itsjemmabond yes, really. She was on one of those morning shows saying that.

[@saltylindasambuca3181]

They were so bragged that their Texas beauties won 5 years in a row, well my darling, did any of those 5 “so called beauties” bring home the Miss Universe crown? None of them. That only shows they were wrong choices by these stupid judges.

[@brucebutkis1965]

salty linda sambuca I read somewhere that the state winner in Texas wffould be put through a boot camp style training with a team of professional pageant

[@rexmaricabagnot4135]

That triggered to massive change in 1990.

[@stevie5443]

Christy was 1st Runner Up in the 1986 Miss Universe Pageant. That's really amazing too.

[@mollycasas3101]

1985 was originally from California

[@petewong2372]

Texas again

[@mayasurina5349]

georgia the winner

[@misstee101]

3:53

[@wsealy02]

they read the results backwards? the winner was clearly Georgia

[@Pageantfan2012]

actually it aired on CBS, which owned the airing rights until Trump bought The Miss Universe Pageant Organization.

[@Noneofyourbusin]

She should have won Miss Universe but the pageant was rigged back then

[@albertobustossantibanez1317]

Lástima que haya sido superada por mis Chile... Cecilia Boloko.

But none of them won Miss Universe

Yep, she did!

georgia should of won this crown.

[@tjnaran8353]

Arizona was robbed!

[@lilytsui3015]

D. M. The title and crown

[@lilytsui3015]

Agree! I would’ve crown her or Georgia

[@johnorlando9839]

None of the finalists would have defeated Chile at MU or even placed ahead of Italy.

[@majoinerful]

Texas was SO overrated! Arizona or Florida should have been crowned!

[@Iamshan1995]

I agree! she looked 40!

[@astoldbychrisv9464]

@D. M.Can you STFU already! Everyone is entitled to their own opinions. No one is jealous of a twenty something year old beauty queen that looks as if she's hitting forty with three kids. Get over yourself!

[@johnnydarko7444]

que? Florida mejor que Arizona y Georgia? donde tenían los ojos los jurados. Después Florida fue al misa Mundo y no clasifico. lógico eran mucho mejores Arizona y Georgia.

[@JC-tw7zp]

Arizona looks ten times better
