The Miss Hawaii USA competition is the pageant that selects the representative for the state of Hawaii in the Miss USA pageant.
Hawaiʻi is the most recent state to start competing at Miss USA, as it first competed in 1962. Prior to this delegates were sent to Miss Universe. Despite the late start, it has been one of the most successful: Hawaiʻi's first Miss USA, Macel Wilson, came the first year the state competed. There have been four Miss USA winners from Hawaiʻi, one of three states with four titles (only second to Texas and California). Although there have been many Miss USA winners and semifinalists, relatively few women from Hawaiʻi have placed as runners-up. Two of them previously competed at Miss Teen USA. Kelly Hu, Miss Teen USA 1985,[1] became the first Miss Teen USA winner to win a Miss title, in 1993.
Many Miss Hawaii USA titleholders competed at a number of international pageants. Similar to Miss South Carolina USA, there was one Miss Hawaii USA that competed at Miss World. Another one competed at Miss International. Four of the winners competed at Miss Universe, after winning Miss USA. Out of six titleholders who represented the United States or Hawaii at major international pageants, only one won an international crown: Miss Hawaii USA 1997, Brook Lee who won the title of Miss USA 1997 and also captured the crown of Miss Universe 1997,[2] one of only seven Miss USA winners to become Miss Universe in the history of the pageant.
The current titleholder is Chelsea Hardin of Honolulu.
