Miss USA 2024: Here's why viewers are mocking Top 5 costumes
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: The Miss USA 2024 competition has generated controversy, particularly regarding the top 5 state costumes. Many viewers were disappointed with the quality and appearance of these costumes, resulting in a wave of criticism on social media.
Some viewers felt the costumes were too flashy and likened them to the extravagant outfits seen in the "Hunger Games" Capitol, suggesting they resembled theater costumes more than stylish attire.
One fan wrote, "So the state costumes are just like the capitol in hunger games." Another fan added, "The costume competition is cute, but it wears me out. Like… Thinking about how they got these bulky costumes on a plane… It just wears me thin. Lol."

Another added, "I’m sorry, Miss VA, but where’s the rest of your dress?" "OK can go home. She was already my least fave, but that dress isn’t working at all," added another.
Im sorry but why the fuck did #missusa win? SHE HAD THE WORST DRESS ON. #missbrazil or #missvenezuela should of taken the crown.

What is the controversy with Miss USA 2024?
The Miss USA 2024 pageant has faced significant controversies, primarily related to allegations of mistreatment and leadership challenges within the organization. Laylah Rose, who was appointed president and CEO by the Miss Universe Organization, has faced criticism for overseeing multiple postponements and schedule changes for the state pageants.
Former titleholders Noelia Voigt and UmaSofia Srivastava resigned, alleging mistreatment and abusive behavior by Rose. Their mothers reported that their daughters endured "eight months of torture and abuse," including emotional distress and restrictions on making public appearances.
In her resignation letter, Noelia Voigt revealed that she experienced severe anxiety due to ongoing harassment from the Miss USA leadership. Many contestants rallied behind her, calling for her release from her nondisclosure agreement (NDA) so she could openly discuss her experiences.
Despite the serious allegations, the Miss Universe Organization has yet to conduct an official investigation. While they have reiterated their commitment to empowering women and promoting fairness, they have not directly addressed the specific issues raised by the resignations.
The CW Network, which broadcasts the pageant, has announced that it is reevaluating its relationship with Miss USA and Miss Teen USA in light of these controversies. These controversies have cast a shadow over the 2024 Miss USA pageant, raising concerns about the treatment of contestants and the overall management of the event.
