Subject: Tara Holland's dress won Miss America in preliminary competition. When she walked out in that dress, everyone sitting it Boardwalk Hall KNEW she was going to be Miss America. And she had the other goods to back it up. But that dress was stellar.

The only time I've ever seen an evening gown win Miss America. I don't know who her stylist was, but whomever earned their paycheck. She was perfection." on 13:18:33 01/23/26 Fri [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date Was that the same dress she wore in finals? If so, major difference of opinion. One of my least favorite winning gowns ever.

(NT) -- Assuming you're an adult since you were in Boardwalk Hall in 1997, please act like one., 12:23:56 02/18/26 Wed (99-74-180-249.lightspeed.cicril.sbcglobal.net/99.74.180.249) I had a director tell me stories of how Tara prepped for Miss Kansas and Miss America - there’s no doubt she was competing to win! (NT) No name (75-163-205-28.clsp.qwest.net/75.163.205.28) 18:15:04 01/29/26 Thu I'm friends with a contestant that competed that year. She said she was polite but kept herself segregated from everyone that week. She was not there for Miss Congeniality. She was not popular among tge other contestants and many were upset that she won. My friend said she didn't really care one way or another, but a victory for one of the friendlier girls would have been nice.

(NT) -- It made her stand out., 16:24:43 01/31/26 Sat (226.sub-97-190-55.myvzw.com/97.190.55.226) When she won you can see Miss Texas and Miss Hawaii who were both in top 10 give this slow motion clap (NT) -- No name, 12:23:47 02/01/26 Sun (NoHost/172.58.244.222) Miss Texas that year had no business in that top 10. If you watch the interview video and then her onstage competition, it's totally clear she didn't belong there. I don't know how she got in, but she took a spot from one of the other girls who performed MUCH better all week. The rumor is that part of the backlash against Tara is that she supposedly had a wrist injury all week that prevented her from attending some of the rehearsals/events, yet when she was crowned, her hands and wrists went wild (NT) -- No name, 12:22:38 02/16/26 Mon (pool-72-74-53-82.bstnma.fios.verizon.net/72.74.53.82)
