On October 21, 2025, the organizers of the Miss USA 2025 and Miss Teen USA 2025 pageants have announced the hosts and judges who will be overseeing the competitions.
For Miss USA 2025, which will take place on October 24, the hosting duties will be handled by Emmanuel Acho and Miss USA 2015 Olivia Jordan. The judging panel will include former Miss USA winner Nia Sanchez, Bachelor Nation's Jade Roper Tolbert, Dancing With the Stars' Sasha Farber, fashion designer Kenneth Barlis, and Hannah Edwards.
"I'm thrilled to come back to the Miss USA stage. Competing in pageants is where I found my voice," said Jordan, who is excited to pass the baton to the next generation of empowered women.
The Miss Teen USA 2025 pageant, scheduled for October 23, will be hosted by Big Brother winner Taylor Hale. The judges for this event will be Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model Jena Sims, model Cassidy Wolf, Real Housewives of Potomac's Candiace Dillard Bassett, singer Madisyn Shipman, and actor Josh Randall.
"Authenticity. Confidence that's quiet and steady -- not performative," shared Bassett on what she'll be looking for in the contestants. "I want to see a woman who knows exactly who she is and walks in that truth."
