Official @missusa interview look reveal✨

Thank you @thedesignertaj, @tajthelable for sponsoring my custom interview design and walking with me through every step of the way. I wanted something soft but powerful, and I think we accomplished just that💛

I felt like the 75th Miss USA walking into and out of my panel-style interview with our highly esteemed judges. Just know, their job won’t be easy, because the class of 2026 will go down in history as one of the most accomplished, genuine, trailblazing, and unforgettable groups of women to ever take that stage.

Whatever happens next, I’m incredibly proud to be among them. ✨

Interviewed for my dream job @missdcusa on Juneteenth. 😭✨

With Galveston roots this feels like divine alignment. On a day that honors freedom, resilience, and the generations who fought for us to be seen, I had the opportunity to step into a room and share my story.

I thank God and every ancestor who paved the way for me to not only be here, but to LIVE, THRIVE, and SHINE. 🙌🏾🙏🏾

No matter what happens next, I am already walking in purpose. 💕

A true honor to dress Ms. Wanda @wandasdc in @tajthelabel_ a D.C. staple, community pillar, and beauty industry icon who has dedicated over 50 years to the art of hair and beauty. ✨

As the child of a beautician, this moment means more to me than words can express. To be able to use my own gift of fashion to honor a woman who has poured so much into her community is truly a full-circle moment. 🥹🧵🪡✨

Ms. Wanda, thank you for allowing me to dress you and, more importantly, for allowing us to give you your flowers while you’re here to smell them. 💐

We love you, Ms. Wanda! ❤️

75 YEARS OF ICONS. ONE GOLDEN MOVEMENT ✨👑 @missvausa Custom Interview Look @tajthelabel_ 🧵🪡✂️

As an Official Interview Look Sponsor for Miss Virginia USA, I wanted this look to embody the significance of the 75th Anniversary of @missusa a celebration of legacy, excellence, and the women who have defined the crown across generations.

@justuskells, my sister, this moment is bigger than fashion. It’s about purpose, sisterhood, and the light we carry into the world. Your heart for foster children, your compassion for humanity, and your commitment to uplifting others are the qualities that make you a true Queen.

May this golden moment remind every woman that her worth was never defined by a crown. It’s not on you it’s in you ! 👑✨
