This gown represents a living portrait of success, with rhinestoned textiles emulating paint dripping off of my body. 🎨
I am a work of art, a masterpiece.

What a beautiful journey it has been.

Being crowned the very first winner of the official USA preliminary for is something I will carry with me forever.

To the entire USA team, thank you. , , , , and most importantly Todd Bavol, you have changed my life in ways that my words can’t fully come close to describe... but I’ll try anyway!

I entered this journey as a mentor and teacher within my community, and along the way, I became a student, surrounded by some of the most talented, passionate, and inspiring individuals. Being shaped into a better version of myself challenged, and transformed me into a force for change, which is something I will never forget.

Thank you for the laughter, the tears, the growing pains, and the beautiful bonds that have become family. Through every collaboration, every disagreement, and every moment of understanding new perspectives, I have truly grown. I’ve spent much of my life with walls up, and through this experience, I’ve learned the power of letting them fall.

I am honored not only to be the first winner of this preliminary, but to stand proudly as the third Queen to represent the USA on the MIQ stage.

Forever and always with love,
Midori Monet 2025
