This year, misslausa opening number theme is called “The Goddess Within”. This costume is inspired by my Japanese heritage and the goddess Persephone. It was an honor to have showcased this outfit and wear it on the Miss LA USA stage because my sweet friend rachael._.boudreaux designed AND handmade this dress. I couldn’t be prouder to walk across the stage wearing your art. johnmerritphotos thank you for capturing this look so beautifully and for your time shooting and editing these. Thank you both for bringing my vision to life🤍 Miss Louisiana, see you tonight. #misslausa #misslouisianausa #rpmforthewin #missusa
