				<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>The 61<sup>st</sup> annual <strong>Miss USA</strong> Pageant was filled with gorgeous girls and an all-star judging panel, including <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/joe-jonas">Joe Jonas</a></strong>, <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/rob-kardashian">Rob Kardashian</a></strong> and former Bachelorette <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/Ali-Fedotowsky/">Ali Fedotowsky</a></strong> to name a few. The event was hosted by <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/giuliana-rancic">Giuliana Rancic</a></strong> and <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/andy-cohen">Andy Cohen</a></strong> and featured 51 of the most beautiful women in the US.</p>

<p>The night opened with a fashion show where the contestants were split into five different groups as they walked the runway. First was the &#8220;Day at the Races&#8221; group, who strutted their stuff in large hats and their best derby wear. Next up was &#8220;High-End Glamour&#8221; group, where the contestants wore gold and silver gowns. Following that was a black and studded &#8220;Rockstar Glam&#8221; group, a &#8220;Champagne Collection&#8221; with light sparkly frocks and finally, a &#8220;Debutante Collection&#8221; with long gloves and elegant gowns. After the girls walked the catwalk, the hosts started the official competition as the 16 finalists were announced.</p>

<p>In the swimsuit competition the finalists showed off their toned bods and cute suits as <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/cobra-starship">Cobra Starship</a></strong> performed. After that, the girls were narrowed down to 10 and the &#8220;Garden of the Gods&#8221; evening gown portion began. After the top five finalists were announced it was time for the questions, which were taken from Twitter. The final 5 answered the questions with grace and as the round commenced, it was time for another performance. The girls joined superstar <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/akon">Akon</a></strong> and <strong>Mr. </strong><strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/donald-trump">Donald Trump</a></strong> himself as they sang, &#8220;<strong>Call Me Trump</strong>&#8220;, their own take on the popular <strong><a href="http://ryanseacrest.com/tag/carly-rae-jepsen">Carly Rae Jepsen</a></strong> song, &#8220;<strong>Call Me Maybe</strong>.&#8221;</p>

<p>After the fun was over, the winners were announced and it was 20-year-old student <strong>Olivia Culpo</strong> aka Miss Rhode Island who was crowned Miss USA 2012, an honor that 2011 Winner <strong>Alyssa Campanella</strong> said, she should be very proud of. Campanella said, &#8220;Not many women can say they&#8217;ve made it to the Miss USA stage. I think there&#8217;s that saying that you&#8217;re more likely to have a son play in the Super Bowl than a daughter compete on the stage at Miss USA!&#8221;  To see some highlights from the evening, checkout the gallery below!</p>
