Audrey Eckert, 23, of Lincoln, Nebraska, United States won Miss USA 2025 at the Grand Sierra Resort in Reno, Nevada, USA on October 24, 2025. She was crowned by Miss Universe 2024 Victoria Kjær Theilvig because Miss USA 2024 Alma Cooper decided not to attend the coronation ceremony.
“After much consideration, I’ve made the extremely difficult decision not to attend this year’s Miss USA pageant and crowning ceremony,” Cooper wrote on social media hours before the Miss USA 2025 show started. “As I close this chapter, I do so with the knowledge that I finished what I started with integrity and my self-worth held high, just like the crown I was honored to wear.”
On November 21, 2025, Eckert will represent the U.S. at Miss Universe 2025 at the Impact Challenger Hall in Pak Kret, Nonthaburi, Thailand. She will compete against more than 120 other candidates including Praveenar Singh, 29, of Thailand.
