The 73rd Miss USA Pageant made its grand return to California for the first time since 2007, taking place at the prestigious Peacock Theater in Downtown Los Angeles.
The star-studded event was hosted by none other than The Real Housewives Of Beverly Hills star Garcelle Beauvais and E! News’ Keltie Knight, where 51 Miss USA Division delegates gathered to crown the 2024 winner.
One of the esteemed judges for the evening was Scheana Shay, a familiar face from the cast of Vanderpump Rules.
Before taking her seat at the judges’ table, Shay stunned on the red carpet in a one-of-a-kind black minidress, complete with a dramatic train that flowed behind her like a dark cloud.

Shay’s outfit was perfectly accessorized with black hoop earrings and a sleek clutch, while her long black hair was pulled back into a ponytail that cascaded down her back.
She was joined on the red carpet by fellow Vanderpump Rules star Lala Kent, as well as Ally Lewber, who rose to fame through her relationship with James Kennedy.
Shay’s husband, Brock Davies, was also in attendance, and the couple shared a romantic moment on the red carpet, with Davies looking dapper in a crisp white suit.

Shay later took to her Instagram page to share behind-the-scenes glimpses of her getting ready for the event, including her hair and makeup process.
The West Covina, California native also shared the red carpet spotlight with Ally Lewber and a very pregnant Lala Kent.
The 2023 Miss USA winner, Savannah Gankiewicz of Hawaii, was also in attendance to crown her successor at the end of the ceremony.
The winner of the 2024 Miss USA pageant will go on to represent the United States at the Miss Universe 2024 event in Mexico.
In a break from tradition, Addie Carver from Mississippi was crowned Miss Teen USA 2024, with Gankiewicz presenting her with the tiara following the resignation of New Jersey’s UmaSofia Srivastava in May.
