EVENING GOWN

Comprising 20% of a delegates score, each delegate will compete in Eveing Gown in the evening wear of her selection. This phase of competition highlights each delegate's unique sense of style while wearing an evening gown in a fashion suitable for an appearance as Miss Texas/Miss Texas' Teen.

Part of a titleholder's role is to attend galas, fundraisers, awards shows, and other formal events. This often involves walking a red carpet, posing for press photographers, modeling in fashion shows, and promoting various national fashion designers who partner with the Miss America/Miss America's Teen programs.

Note: Neither the attire itself nor the estimated cost of the wardrobe will be considered in scoring.
