Cheslie Kryst, Miss USA
Miss North Carolina Cheslie Kryst took home the crown of Miss USA 2019 on Thursday night.
Nia Imani Franklin, Miss America
In June 2018, Nia was crowned Miss New York 2018. She secured the title of Miss America 2019 in September of last year.
Kaliegh Garris, Miss Teen USA
Rocking a beautiful curly crown of her own, Connecticut teen Kaliegh was declared Miss Teen USA on Sunday night.
Kryst and Garris both were praised for wearing their natural hair throughout the national competition. Kryst will move on to compete for Miss Universe.
Way to go, ladies!
