"Between the MTV Movie Awards and the Miss USA pageant, there was plenty of glitter and pop music filling our living rooms last night. You&amp;#x27;ve heard what we had to say about the dresses on the MTV red carpet, now let&amp;#x27;s talk pageant fashion! Specifically, the over-the-top gowns, booty shorts, and blazers contestants wore for the &amp;#x27;fashion show&amp;#x27; portion of the program. Ladies, these outfits are bananas! Many of the contestants wore hats or fascinators to convey a &amp;#x27;Day at the Races&amp;#x27; theme. Here&amp;#x27;s Miss California Natalie Pack in a super blingy green outfit. And Miss Florida Karina Brez in a feathered floor-length gown. Pastels really are the trend of the season. Coordinating gloves were another big statement, as Miss Connecticut Marie-Lynn Piscitelli is showing here. How Material Girl are her hot pink gloves? Some contestants put together slightly edgier outfits for for a &amp;#x27;Rockstar Glam&amp;#x27; theme. So instead of a prim blazer, Miss Minnesota Nitaya Panemalaythong opted for a biker jacket and fishnet tights. One of my favorite outfits in the rock star-themed sequence was Miss Maryland Nana Meriwether&amp;#x27;s short shorts and crop top combo. I mean, this woman has guts! Did you ladies catch the Miss USA pageant last night? What do you think of these runway-inspired outfits? Are they funny, fabulous or what? Tell me in the comments!
