Miss Kentucky USA 2020 Alexis Marie “Lexie” Iles, 25, will crown her successor at The Center for Rural Development in Somerset, Pulaski County, Kentucky, United States on May 22, 2021. A total of 46 candidates are competing for the title.
It is the 67th edition of Miss Kentucky USA. Iles’ runner-up Michaela Arnold is back and will try to become the second Miss USA from Kentucky.
On April 21, 2006, Tara Conner, 35, was crowned Miss USA 2006 at the Royal Farms Arena in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. This made her the first ever and still the only Miss USA titleholder from Kentucky.
