A nursing student from Alabama was crowned Miss America 2025.
Abbie Stockard, 22, who represented Alabama during the 2025 Miss America Pageant, won the title of Miss America Sunday.
“This is insane,” Stockard said in a video posted on the organization’s Instagram. “I don’t know what I did to deserve this.”
Stockard is a nursing student and former cheerleader at Auburn University, according to social media posts. She was crowned Miss Alabama in June 2024 before moving on to compete in Miss America.

Stockard competed against 51 other delegates from each state, including Washington, D.C. and Puerto Rico.
She was one of 11 semi-finalists who were selected to perform their talents, demonstrate fitness, model evening gowns and answer thought-provoking questions.
She then moved on to the final five, who answered questions about the job of Miss America before she was crowned as the winner.
