Miss USA Crowning Moments (1952-2020)

[@jdt5976]

This is outstanding editing and overall production. The transitions and fades are exquisite. Some of the VERY best Miss USAs are from the 1970s: Miss USAs 1970, 1973, and 1978 were all first runners-up at Miss Universe and were definitely Miss Universe material.

[@jacob-ni6jr]

Deborah Shelton, though. Very Miss Universe material! Easily one of the strongest Miss USA ever.

Back during the period between the early 90s until the early 2000s, Halle Berry's beauty is one of the most glorified and captivating NOT JUST IN the world of beauty pageant, but also in Hollywood. She was a first runner up in 1986 at Miss USA. And I thought, in order for someone to beat the calibre of Halle Berry and her beauty, you have to be either the most beautiful Miss USA of all time or the most outstanding in terms of overall accomplishment outside the beauty pageant. Then, i did the pursing of the lips just like Meryl Sreep in the Devil Wears Prada, which means "catastrophe". LMAO

I can't help but feel badly for the 1st-runner up. The disappointment must be crushing, yet she still has to pretend she is thrilled for the winner. And then someone steps up and quickly escorts her off the stage and into obscurity, haunted by thoughts of what might-have-been. The only real consolation is taking over as Miss USA if the reigning Miss USA happens to be crowned Miss Universe. But even then, they don't get to experience that thrill of victory that comes with being crowned at the actual pageant. Yes, Halle Berry still became famous despite being 1st-runner up, but that appears to be the exception to the rule.
