This includes a private interview, onstage question, talent or HER story, health and fitness, and evening gown.
Before the completion, Miss Alabama, now Miss America 2025, also shared a heartfelt post on Instagram.
The caption read:
"Tonight, a new Miss America will be crowned. As I step into this evening, I am filled with excitement, honor, and gratitude. Thanking the Lord for placing me here this week and giving me one of the most incredible experiences of my life."
It further continued:
"Regardless of the outcome, I want to express my deepest thanks to my friends, family, the amazing Miss Alabama board, and the wonderful people of Alabama for making me feel so appreciated and loved. I hope I’ve made you proud and represented you well."
