The 2024 Miss USA pageant kicked off on Sunday night with hosts Keltie Knight and Garcelle Beauvais taking the stage at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles. The “E! News” co-host and “The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills” star wore various outfits for the evening’s competition — including looks for the red carpet and dresses for the pageant.
For their red carpet attire, Knight and Beauvais brought their own signature style to the Miss USA pageant. Knight married two looks that have been popular on the red carpet as of late. The three-time Emmy winner wore a white monochrome dress with an off-the-shoulder neckline and long sleeves.

The dress featured a column skirt and a sheer bodice with long sleeves. The bodice of Knight’s dress also featured the peekaboo bra trend, which has been styled by such stars this year as Kristen Stewart and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, among others.
For her red carpet attire, Beauvais opted for a monochrome sleeveless black gown with several feathers. Both Knight and Beauvais changed their looks for the start of the show.

Upon taking the stage, Knight and Beauvais brought Old Hollywood glamour with a hint of modernity. Knight wore a strapless gown with all-over silver sequins that glittered under the lights of flashing cameras. She also wore a statement necklace featuring green stones.
Beauvais merged Old Holywood with the contemporary see-through and sheer dressing trend seen on the red carpet in 2024. Her dress featured a halter neckline with a dramatic, elevated and open element to frame her shoulders. The glittering skirt, complete with silver gemstones, featured the see-through, sheer element of the look.

Other notable guests in attendance included Myrna Hansen, who wore a sash featuring the words Miss USA Hall of Fame 2024. Hansen was crowned Miss USA roughly 71 years ago in 1953.
