Miss USA 2025: Lawyers, Ninjas & Antarctic Penguin Fans Battle for Crown

Mark your calendars for October 24, 2025, when the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno hosts a showdown featuring not just evening gowns but also legal briefs, jigsaw puzzles, and Antarctic plunges. Miss Alabama, Kennedy Whisenant, a boutique-owning Glamour-featured HBCU queen, donates biz profits to charity while competing against Miss Delaware, Tetra Shockley, a 44-year-old partner and licensed minister who’s also a thrice All-American cheerleader with globe-trotting stunt creds. Expect physician assistant Kelsey Craft’s chilly 30-degree plunges with penguins, lawyer Olivia Halsey’s 'Women Behind the Title' platform, and 'American Ninja Warrior' vibes. Even juggling horseback riders like Lou Schieffelin join the fray. This sanely weird mashup streams live on Queen Beauty Network—because who wouldn’t want to watch models juggle while petitioning Capitol Hill?
