The pageant, held in Florida, USA, was a spectacle of glitz, glamour, and girl power. Meza, a passionate advocate for women's rights and climate change, took the crown from her predecessor, Zozibini Tunzi from South Africa. The pageant also made history by including its first-ever plus-size model, Adeline Marais from South Africa, in the top 10.

In a twist of events that would make any reality TV show producer green with envy, Miss USA 2019, Cheslie Kryst, resigned from her title amidst a social media firestorm. Kryst, along with other state titleholders, accused the Miss USA organization of racism and lack of support. The pageant world was abuzz with speculation and drama, but one thing's for sure - the sisters are doing it for themselves, and they won't stand for any nonsense.
