Miss United States 2014 was the 14th Miss United States pageant, held in Washington, D.C., United States, on July 4, 2014.
It was won by a contestant from North Carolina, Elizabeth Safrit, who also became Miss World America 2014, after Miss United States acquired the license for Miss World in the US, and was the 2nd runner-up of Miss World 2014 held during December 2014 in London. Safrit crowned her successors for both Miss United States 2015 and Miss World America 2015 the following year.
State representation
The contest was attended by competitors from all states and territories of the United States. Each delegate represented their state or territory, including Guam, American Samoa, Virgin Islands, and Puerto Rico. The competition covered four categories: interview, swimwear, evening gown and on-stage question categories.
The 16 finalists again competed in swimwear. The top 10 from that round then competed again in the evening gown category and finally the top five participated in the on-stage question. The on-stage question this year was "With the state of the current economy, how do you justify competing in pageants?".
Hosts
The pageant hosts were Steven Roddy and Stephanie McGrane. Steven Roddy is the founder of ThePageantPlanet.com, a website with interviews, updates, and news about the world of pageantry. Stephanie McGrane was then a host for PageantLive, a web-based media outlet focusing on all aspects of pageantry.
