General Dress guidelines:
Stones, sequins, and sparkle are allowed on all beauty attire. ZERO LOOSE GLITTER WILL BE ALLOWED ON STAGE OR AT VENUE.

Beauty Walk Rules:
Glitz routines/Modeling are not expected. We are looking for a Miss America/Miss USA Beauty Walk. Babies are allowed to wave and blow kisses.
