How to Win the Evening Gown Competition

Before walking out onto the stage in your designer evening gown get an image of how you want to present yourself to the panel of judges. Are you a queen walking before her royal subjects? Are you walking on the red carpet before the mass media? Or are you an actress in a scene from your favorite movie? Armed with that image, raise your chin, square those shoulders and walk as if you were crowned before the competition began.

While walking in your designer evening gown listen to the background music so you can get a feel for the beat and then walk in ryththm. This will help you slow down and relax into your pace so you can concentrate on displaying the image that you have preset in your mind. Allow your hands to move naturally with the sway of your body and of course do not forget to flash your million dollar smile.

Above you will see a video of the 2009 Miss USA Evening Gown Competition, including Miss USA, Kristen Dalton, formally known as North Carolina USA 2009.

Miss North Carolina, Kristen Dalton, was just crowned Miss USA 2009! Kristen Dalton blew the crowd away and after the onstage question theĀ  judges all agreed that she was the clear winner.

The Miss USA pageant was held at Planet Hollywood Casino and Resort in Las Vegas and though had some interesting music selection was true to the quality of Donald Trump. The pageant was hosted by Billy Bush and Nadine Velazquez and it was a sad but memorable moment when Crystle Stewart, Miss USA 2008, passed on her crown to Kristen Dalton.

Miss Congeniality USA 2009

Miss Wyoming won the Miss Congeniality which is a great award to receive but unfortunately in the years past whomever has won this award has not placed well in either the Miss USA or Miss America pageants. This is not to say that you should not be nice but that you should not get upset if you fail to receive the Miss Congeniality Award.
