Dalton was crowned Miss USA 2009 on Sunday, beating 50 other contestants in the live show which was broadcast live from Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas.

Miss North Carolina 2009, Kristen Dalton is a 21-year-old aspiring motivational speaker from Wilmington who defeated first runner-up Miss California USA, Carrie Prejean, of San Diego.

The pageant aired live on NBC. Contestants were judged in a swimsuit competition, an evening gown competition, and their answers to a question (unlike the Miss America contest, Miss USA does not feature a talent competition).

The top 15 paraded onto the stage in string bikinis designed by Jessica Simpson Swimwear.

Kristen Dalton was awarded the Miss USA 2009 title along with one year's use of a New York apartment, her own P.R. team, a 2-year scholarship to the New York Film Academy and an undisclosed salary.

From here, Miss USA 2009 will go on to the Bahamas in August to compete in the Miss Universe 2009 pageant.
