On July 8th, 51 contestants took the Miss USA stage by storm. First was swim wear and then there was evening gown. While some of the dresses were absolutely gorgeous, some of them should have never made it on stage. But, it's not just about the gown itself. It's about how the contestant wears it. Take a look.
First up: Alaska. Her dress was very chic and Miss USA-ish. That color yellow could catch anyone's eye. My only complaint is the hair. Even though its pretty, its not the Miss USA look (same situation that Miss Jamaica 2014 was in). On the right we have California, Natasha Martinez. Her dress was on-point, but the cleavage was way too much. Over-all she did well, top 5 material. If Georgia doesn't make it past prelims then I declare myself the worst at predicting who will make it past prelims. She looks stunning, and definitely picked the right color for herself. I could take or leave the necklace. Madison Guthrie's (Alabama) dress is one of my favorites. It is so fitting and flattering on her body. I honestly have no complaints, except the fact that she makes me feel like a sack of potatoes. Let's talk Illinois. I know that a lot of people think that her dress is fashion forward, but to me it just looks weird. If she had have opted out of putting that flap thing on the front, the dress would have looked much better. She has the confidence, though, which is so important. Pennsylvania is a freaking show stopper. She looks sexy as hell. One of my favorite gowns of the evening and definitely Top 5 material! Honestly, when I first saw Ohio's dress I thought it was ghastly, but then it quickly grew on me. It is so figure-flattering and she really knows how to work the stage. I have to say, her dress is different from what I've seen before. New Jersey looks simply amazing. The red compliments her skin tone perfectly. She has a young looking face, but this dress definitely gives her some more maturity. I was pretty underwhelmed with North Dakota's dress. She is so gorgeous, but this look definitely plays her down. I am not a fan of the two lines going down the middle. Michigan's dress is on the fence for me. The color is bold and fierce, especially because of her flaming red hair, but I do not love where the waist line falls. It makes her torso look awkwardly long. If she had have cut the top off at her waist instead of her hips it would have looked a million times better. |
