Miss USA 2010

The 59th Miss USA pageant was held once again at the Theatre for the Performing Arts in Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas on Sunday, May 16, 2010 — when Miss Michigan, 24-year-old Rima Fakih, was crowned the new Miss USA. Miss Michigan, a strikingly beautiful Lebanese American and a brunette, won out over the usual "pageant blondes" — including first runner-up Miss Oklahoma, Morgan Elizabeth Woolard, second runner-up Miss Virginia Samantha Evelyn Casey, third runner-up Miss Colorado Jessica Hartman and fourth place runner-up Miss Maine Katherine Ashley Whittier.
