- Miss USA and Miss America are often confused — but the pageants are quite different.
- Women aged 18 to 28 can compete in Miss America. All women 18 and over can now compete at Miss USA.
- Miss USA has a swimsuit round, which Miss America got rid of in 2018.
Do you know the difference between Miss USA and Miss America?
They're the two biggest pageants in the country, and both involve a sash and crown. But that's where most of their similarities end.
