Miss United States 2014 is the 14th edition of the Miss United States beauty pageant. It took place in Washington, D.C. on July 4. It was won by a contestant from North Carolina, Elizabeth Safrit,[1] who became the 2nd runner-up of Miss World 2014 held during December 2014 in London.

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 5 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?".
