Some of the Miss USA pictures of the contestants are being labeled as a little too sexy for Miss USA wannabes. The images in question feature Miss Oregon, Miss Wisconsin and, of course, it wouldn't be a Miss USA news item if Miss California wasn't involved. The Miss USA pictures feature the girls [scantily clad](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miley-cyrus-maison-margiela), and some even in their [skivvies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/winter-heat-collection). Of course, officials within the organization call them "tasteful" and deem them completely fine. I say you judge for yourself--are these Miss USA role models a little too naked?? ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.7/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 39% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 10% men, 90% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Naughty](https://www.trendhunter.com/naughty) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Controversial Pageantry:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in creating pageants that offer a fresh take on beauty, built on new and inclusive standards of representation. - **Body-positive Beauty Standards:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in creating pageants that celebrate diverse body types and promote body positivity and self-love as a key aspect of beauty standards. - **Sexualization and Objectification of Women:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in creating pageants that do not sexualize or objectify women, but rather focus on recognizing their intelligence, skills, and achievements. ### Who This Affects Most - **Fashion:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in fashion that move away from sexualization of women and promote body positivity by creating inclusive and diverse clothing lines. - **Media:** Opportunities for disruptive innovation in media to redefine beauty standards, objectification and representation of women in pop culture. - **Entertainment:** Disruptive innovation opportunities in the entertainment industry to redefine beauty and contests that promote positive, empowering messages and role models. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [AI Beauty Pageants](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/miss-ai.md) - [Cultural Exhibition Updates](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/exhibit-columbus.md) - [Unapologetic Lingerie Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mariemurs-judge-me-guilty.md) - [Celebrity Swimwear Collections](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/swim-line.md) - [Community-Driven Fashion Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/limitless-campaign.md) - [Multifaceted Swimsuit Cover Models](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sports-illustrated-swimsuit-1.md) - [Spoof Cosmetics Campaigns](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/americas-next-top-primer.md) - [Body-Inclusive Reality TV Ads](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/roses-for-every-body.md) - [Airline Policy Revisions](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/spirit-airlines-bans.md)
