Miss USA 2025 was the 74th edition of the Miss USA pageant, held at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada, on October 24, 2025. This marked the first edition under the direction of Thomas Brodeur, who acquired the franchise. The outgoing titleholder, Alma Cooper from Michigan, did not attend the event for personal reasons, marking the first time since 1953 where the outgoing titleholder did not crown her successor. Miss Universe 2024, Victoria Kjær Theilvig, took her place. Contestants from fifty states and the District of Columbia competed in this edition. The competition was presented by Miss USA 2015, Olivia Jordan and Emmanuel Acho. For the first time since the pageant became independent from Miss Universe in 1965, the event was not televised on any major American television network. Instead, it was broadcast exclusively on the streaming provider Queen Beauty Network.[
