Miss USA 2018 will hold its finale on 21st May 2018 at the Hirsch Memorial Coliseum in Shreveport, Louisiana where Miss USA 2017 Kara McCullough will crown her successor from the 51 contestants who will fight for the national title.
But before that, let’s take a look at the top 10 contenders of the national crown who can, in our opinion, represent USA at Miss Universe 2018. In a series of features, we will introduce these wonderful women who definitely have what it takes to win Miss USA 2018.
Lauren Weaver, from Greenwood, was crowned Miss Arkansas USA 2018 on 4th December 2017. She is one of our top favourite picks for Miss USA 2018.
The 21-year-old beauty is beauty with brains as she is currently pursuing her graduation in Business Marketing from the University of Arkansas. Standing 175 cm tall, Lauren is not new to the pageant world as she was crowned Miss Arkansas Teen USA 2014.
Lauren works as a model and has worked with brands such as Sherri Hill, Tony Bowls, Lauren James, Sam’s Club and Dillards just to name a few. Lauren also is the marketing intern for a clothing line based in Fayetteville, Arkansas.
In her free time, Lauren enjoys bicycling, skydiving, hiking, exercising, anything that involves water and loves to spend time with her family and dog, Kane.

The blue-eyed beauty has been busy preparing for her national competition after her crowning. As the daughter of an eight-year breast cancer survivor, Lauren is actively involved with Susan G. Komen of Arkansas, largest and best-funded breast cancer organization in the United States.
Lauren’s mother’s diagnosis at a young age has been the driving force behind her passion to spread awareness and educate young women on the importance of early detection.
Throughout her reign, Lauren wants to empower young women around Arkansas to get fit by healthy eating and exercising and to become more civic-minded by giving back to their community.
