MISS USA 2020
As an evening gown sponsor for multiple Miss USA state organizations, each year we look forward to getting to dress the state titleholders for one of the biggest moments of their life:
Competing for the title of Miss USA!
The Ashley Rene's team works with designer, Sherri Hill, and the titleholders to create their dream gown... or in Miss Utah USA's case, a dream pantsuit!
Miss Indiana USA, Alexis Lete, chose a gorgeous dark red fully beaded gown with a halter style neckline and fringe detailing througout the skirt! Alexis made us and the state of Indiana so proud and finished placing 3rd Runner-Up to Miss USA wearing Ashley Rene's! Alexis' evening gown was voted one of the Top 17 gowns at Miss USA by Insider.com!
Miss Nevada USA, Victoria Olona, chose a modern princess-style ballgown with a metallic skirt and fully beaded bodice and off the shoulder straps! You'd never believe us when we say the gown had to have weighed more than 15 pounds because Victoria just floated on stage! Victoria's gown was voted one of the Top 17 evening gowns at Miss USA by Insider.com!
From the moment she was crowned Miss Utah USA, Rachel Slawson, knew she wanted to make a statement and be different with her wardrobe choices. We discussed many options and she decided she felt most confident being the first ever contestant to wear a pantsuit on the Miss USA stage during the evening gown competion! Rachel wore a gold liquid bead two-piece pantsuit and it could not have shined more! We loved her bravery and how much she embraced being different than the other contestants. Her pantsuit was voted one of the Top 17 looks at Miss USA by Insider.com!
ASHLEY RENE'S GIVES
BACK DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC
The coronavirus pandemic has postponed a lot of things, including prom. But that hasn’t stopped Ashley Rene’s Prom and Pageant from doing everything they can to help high schoolers and the community.
We recently learned that our garment bags are made of the same protective fabric that can be used to make masks for healthcare workers and the immunocompromised. Community members, other local businesses, including the Pink Pineapple Boutique, & our amazing Ashley Rene’s clients have teamed up with us and we are so excited to say we’ve donated enough fabric to make nearly 7,000 masks! We've been able to not only help those within our community, but our clients across the entire country stepped up and have began making masks and filters out of our garment bags for those in their community, too!
Ashley Rene’s is so proud that we could make a small gesture in hopes to create a big impact on those who are on the front line of this crisis our country and community is facing.
Thank you to everyone who has been working diligently to make masks for those who need them most!

As one of the industry's leaders in pageant wardrobe styling, we pride ourselves in working with each and every one of clients helping them find the perfect gown that not only they look beautiful in but that they feel beautiful in, too! An evening gown is a way to express yourself and show your personality on stage and these Ashley Rene's girls knocked it out of the park with their evening gown choices!
Placing #7 in the Best Teen Evening Gowns of 2019 is IJM International Teen 2019, Rachael Evren! Rachael was formerly the Miss Australia IJM Teen when she reached out to find her perfect evening gown for IJM Internationals. She chose a stunning aqua blue, strapless Sherri Hill Couture ballgown that has a fully beaded bodice and a dramatic organza skirt.
We finished the look with matching Stefanie Somers earrings!
Coming in at #10 for The Best Miss Evening Gowns of 2019 is Miss Nevada USA, Tianna Tuamoheloa! Tianna wore a custom Sherri Hill Couture gown on the Miss USA stage this past year. Tianna's gown was a white taffeta ballgown with a fully crystal beaded one-shoulder top and bodysuit. It also had a high side slit to showcase the body suit underneath. This look was unique and a complete standout on stage! Tianna placed in the Top 5 at Miss USA and as her evening gown sponsor, we are SO proud!
Placing #5 in the Top 10 for The Best Miss Evening Gowns of 2019 is Miss Utah USA, Amanda Giroux! It's no surpise Amanda placed in the Top 10 with this one-of-a-kind Sherri Hill Couture dress! This gown was a fitted siloutette made with a heavy jersey material that could be worn with or without the separate one-shoulder fully beaded accent piece that had Swarovski Crystals dripping from the arm to the stage... talk about amazing! We are a proud evening gown sponsor for Miss Utah USA and
it was such an honor working with Amanda!
Congratulations to all of our Ashley Rene's girls! We are thankful to have been apart of your journey!
