Miss New Jersey USA 2020 Gina Mellish, 21, of Oceanport, New Jersey, United States will crown her successor at the Hilton Parsippany Hotel in Parsippany-Troy Hills, New Jersey on August 1, 2021. It will be the 70th edition of the state-level beauty pageant that selects New Jersey’s candidate for Miss USA, which selects the Miss Universe candidate of the U.S.
Currently, New Jersey has 19 Miss USA placements. In 2020, Mellish finished in the Top 20.
New Jersey has yet to win a Miss USA crown. Representing the state, Charlotte Ray and Chhavi Verg were Miss USA first runner-up in 1991 and 2017, respectively.
A total of 126 women will compete for the Miss New Jersey USA 2021 crown on August 1, 2021. If facial beauty is the only criterion, these will be my Top 21 candidates:
