Regan Hutsell, a 25-year-old, has been crowned Miss America 2027. She has made history by being the first woman of color to win the title while wearing her natural hair. Hutsell has experience dancing on big stages and chose to wear her natural curls throughout the competition.
This decision was intentional, as she aimed to challenge traditional beauty standards. By doing so, she hopes to inspire young girls.
