Clarksville, Tennessee – In the elegant surroundings of Mabry Concert Hall on the APSU campus in Clarksville, the stage was set for the glamorous spectacle that is the Miss Tennessee USA Pageant 2024. With excitement and dreams running high, the contestants stepped into the spotlight and competed for the coveted title.
The Miss Tennessee contestants showcased poise and confidence in two segments. First, they took to the stage in swimsuits, shining with sun-kissed grace under the spotlight. Then, they shifted to evening wear, where gowns billowed, sequins sparkled and ambition soared. These young women embodied both beauty and talent, leaving an indelible impression on the minds of the audience and the judges.
As the competition intensified, the spotlight was narrowed down to five finalists. These accomplished candidates had made it through a rigorous audition process, their intelligence and charisma shining through. But the ultimate test awaited: the question portion of the show. They handled questions with poise and eloquence that revealed not only their knowledge but also their character.
And then, in a hush of expectation, Miss Rocky Top representative Christelle Foote emerged as the winner. Her smile radiated victory, the tiara adorned her forehead, and she stepped into legend. Last year’s winners, Miss Tennessee Teen USA Brie Allen and Miss Tennessee Regan Ringler, stood beside her, their reigns now memories etched in time. Together, they congratulated Christelle for carrying the pride of Tennessee onto the grand stage of Miss USA 2024 in Hollywood, California.
As she prepares to represent Tennessee, we admire her grace as well as her unwavering determination.
The Miss Tennessee USA pageant is affiliated with the Miss Universe Organization and has been held in Clarksville since 1999. Greenwood Productions is directed by Kimberly Payne Greenwood, Miss Tennessee USA 1989 and wife of Grammy Award winner Lee Greenwood.
