Miss Oklahoma Olivia Jordan was crowned Miss U.S. 2015 on Sunday (July 12, July 13 PHT) after a pageant that saw some of America’s most attractive women parade in bikinis and ball gowns.

The pageant had been caught up in controversy after Republican presidential candidate and pageant owner Donald Trump said in his announcement speech: “When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best; they’re not sending you”.

The 51 contestants introduced themselves July 12 at the River Center to cheers while Stefano Langone and Travis Garland sang their renditions of “Born on the Bayou” and “American Woman”.
