Watchful Eyes Of A Silhouette: 71st Miss USA 2022 Pre-Arrival Favorites

The Miss USA 2022 beauty contest will take place once again in Grand Sierra Resort Hotel and Casino in Reno, Nevada three years after the pageant was held in 2019 to honor Cheslie Kryst who committed suicide on January 30, 2022, due to constant bullying and threat on her life. Cheslie Kryst representing North Carolina won the 68th edition of Miss USA in the very same venue. The 71st Miss USA pageant live telecast finals will happen on October 3, 2022. Fifty-one (51) contestants representing the fifty (50) states and the District of Columbia will compete for the coveted crown. The current Miss USA 2021 Elle Smith of Kentucky will crown her successor at the end of the event.

Meanwhile, before these lovely ladies arrive in Reno Miss USA Organization Inc. released the candidates' official headshots on their official website with their background profiles to which the pageant fan community could not help but pick up their own favorite and this blog is not an exception.

Here is my own list of pre-arrival favorites for the crown. These contestants whose timeless and effortless beauty, natural elegance, and personality in the pictures captured my attention most. Backed by the music of Doja Cat, here is Watchful Eyes' early favorites for Miss USA 2019!
