The Miss USA pageant winner will go on to compete in the international Miss Universe contest. Miss USA began in 1952 after a Miss America winner refused to be photographed in a swimsuit. Catalina Swimwear in Long Beach, CA, then withdrew its sponsorship of Miss America and created its own pageant: Miss USA.
Donald Trump purchased the pageant in 1996.
