I’ve been watching Miss USA and Miss Universe since 1973 - never missed a year. There are by far more elegant and timeless gowns not featured in this video. Only one passed the test for me - as the best evening gowns ever. To each their own, but this list has a lot to be desired.

The style of the gowns is constantly changing. But the elegance and confidence is still present!

3:15 Miss Stairs USA My god in those times the scenography was so crazy

My ABSOLUTE favorite gown in the 29 years I’ve watched pageants is miss South Dakota 2016 an AMAZING white an blue ombré designer gown that reportedly cost thousands it’s not known if it was borrowed or actually purchased for her? So stunning☺☺☺👍👍

SHE IS, I was really surprised that she didn't make the top 5😢

2007 Rachel Smith 2004 Shandi Finnesey 2011 Alyssa Campanella 2013 Margaret Mccord The best of the best!❤

Nothing beats the 80s and the 90s pageants back then we're fabulous

8:27 Unbelievable that she didn't pass to the Top 5, she is one of my favorites too

They pass d ugly nevada instead of her because of home audience

0:18 This is future NFL sportscaster Jayne Kennedy.

I’d put Shawn Weatherly and Courtney Gibbs on this list.

Alabama 2000 hands down.

The gown in actually repeat itself, but the hairstyle and the makeup is totally makes dramatic and magical changes the entire look...!!!

North Dakota 2014 is one of the most iconic with that green dress 💚

My favorite was Miss Oklahoma USA 2010

Morgan Woolard 1RU Miss USA; Miss Oklahoma 2010 should be included

0:03 : Beginning with Blue Gown, and 8:55 : ending with Blue Gown...

Simpler but every bit as lovely were the earlier gowns. Jayne Kennedy of Ohio is a Greek goddess

6:19 Beautiful!

And Miss Nevada 2012 🥺

4:52 Goddess ♥

They are certainly missing a few... Miss Texas USA 2011 gown was also one of the best... Miss Tennessee 2007 Miss Oklahoma 2008 Miss Oklahoma 2010 Miss Georgia 2016 Miss Oklahoma 2015 Miss George 2016

Iowa and Nebraska were stunning And so was Arizona, Tennessee and of course my home state, Illinois

Who selected these gowns? I mean, 2015 OLIVIA JORDAN (Oklahoma), that gown was a total WOW, not the gowns you chose...

Miss usa 2011 amazing! Back 😢

You missed Alabama in 2000. It scored really high.

Are they the real Best in Evening Gowns during their respective years of competition????

For me it was the 2nd half of the 80's through the 90's. Before that everything just looked the same and plain. And now there are good dresses, but some are just so awful with so many cut outs or the slits so high that they may as well not have the dress. I agree with some on the list, others I thought, mah I've seen better, and others I would have tossed in the shreader, but we all have opinions on them.

5:50 One of my favorites, although I didn't like her catwalk.

She was my favorite too! I remember liking her at Miss Teen USA 2006 where she failed to place and then going to Miss USA 2011 where she made a big comeback and almost won the title!! She was my favorite to win Miss USA 2011!

All time best gown is Tennessee 1999.

Julie Hayek ?!? Tina Mitchell...highest gown score ?!? Beth Hood?!?

No Olivia Jordan?!

Bad Bad taste! And to call it of all times! I agreed with only 1!

you guys forgot Beth Hood, Mary Margaret McCord, and Tiana Griggs

Also Lindsey Jo Harrington, Crystle Stewart, Rachel Smith,..

Lol who curated these gowns? The only beautiful gown i see in this video is shandi fennesey's which is giving real lady liberty moment. But then again we all have different taste

Bad taste haha 😂😂😂 totally left out Olivia Jordan, Erin Brady, Olivia Culpo

The fact that Chelsie Smith, Carol Gist, Kenya Moore, Brooke Lee, Crystal Stewart, Tiana Griggs, Megan Pinckney, and others werent mentioned at all in this vid says alot. No beautiful black women AT ALL. And yes this is a color issue and im making full awareness of it 😡😤

Agree. Miss Universe has better gowns. One of the main reasons is because Miss USA partnered with Sherri Hill and forced the ladies to wear those gowns for finals. The ladies couldn’t bring in with other designs from let’s say The Philippines or other fashion brands/designers.
