So what's this thread about? Well first things first, I want to show my favorite and least favorite looks from both pageants, and looking at the Sherri Hill catalog to see which gown I would love to see if they decide to do this again in 2020 (I might as well make something positive out of this) I would be rating each gown from 1 to 5, 1 being the worst and 5 being the best. The link to all of the gowns is down below, so that you can follow along with me. Also keep in mind that these are just my opinion. Let's start with Miss Teen USA.

BEST GOWNS
Number Five
This gown shouldn't work, but for some reason...it does. If it wasn't for the color, this gown would have been plain and boring. The orange suits her skin tone perfectly and it makes her stand out on stage.
Number Four
You know that saying "Less is more"? Well that's what Missouri did with this minimalistic navy blue ball gown. Not only is it a jewel toned color, which is always a plus in beauty pageants, but it compliments her skin tone and makes her looks graceful and elegant. The earrings are a nice touch.
Number Three
Our beautiful 1st Runner Up, North Dakota's gives her that touch of spice while looking youthful at the same time. While this style of gown is more suited for prom, the color is what transforms it from prom to pageant.
Number Two
A stunning gown. Very unique, and even though I don't like the color, it suits her skin tone perfectly.
Number One
When I saw this gown, my jaw DROPPED. It instantly became the best gown of the night. Why? Because this gown could easily be worn by a contestant at Miss Universe and win. I love everything about it, the color, the style, the beading, everything.
Anyways the next post will be my rankings for the Miss USA gowns, and the post after that will be my favorite gowns from the Sherri Hill website that I think are perfect for Miss Teen USA, Miss USA, Miss Universe or any other beauty pageant. Stay tuned and let me know what you think. What are your favorite and least favorite gowns from Miss Teen USA and Miss USA 2019?
