You’ve just been crowned at the Miss Bikini US competition the night before as the new Miss Bikini United States, Miss Bikini Model and Miss Bikini Fitness. What do you do when the morning comes rushing in through your hotel window? You jump outside to pose for official portraits poolside in your swimsuit.
On Thursday, July 24 at the Sagamore South Beach Hotel in Miami Beach, Daryl Leora was chosen as the new Miss Bikini United States; Miracle Virden was selected as Miss Bikini Model; and Katie Quintana was tapped to be the new Miss Bikini Fitness.
Also receiving crowns and sashes were Mollie Wilson, who is the new Miss Bikini Swim Week; and Kasey Bass, who was selected for a second year as Miss Bikini Tropics.
At the competition, Miss Bikini South Texas Jessica Ewald won the People’s Choice Award.
All gathered poolside with a team of photographers who just a few days before were judging them on their modeling skills.
Also poolside on this Friday morning were previous title holders: Miss Bikini Fitness 2024 Megan Daly and Miss Bikini Fitness 2022 Chance Gwyen.
