Alyssa Campanella of Los Angeles topped a subject of 51 beauty queens to take on the title in the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on Las Vegas Strip. She strutted across the stage in a blue bikini with white polka dots and a dark turquoise Sherri Hill evening gown with beading on its top.
She also answered a question about legalizing marijuana by saying she didn't think it should be fully legalized as a option to help ailing economies.
Campanella told reporters in a news conference after the pageant that the win validated her determination to quickly move to Los Angeles from New Jersey after dropping an apartment.
"The downs happen for a reason," she said. "The route that I'm on now is the route that's been meant to be."
Alyssa Campanella of Los Angeles says on Twitter that she was born in the wrong time period and played the famous pig-exploding game Angry Bird backstage on her iPad before the pageant Sunday night.
She hopes to keep modeling following her function as Miss USA is finished, depending on how she does representing the country at Miss Universe in September in Brazil.
The celebrity she'd most prefer to meet, now that she's one herself? Pastry chef Buddy Valastro of TLC reality show Cake Boss.
"I love to bake cakes, and he's an Italian, and he acts like I do in the kitchen," the 21-year-old said after beating 50 other hopefuls in Miss USA's 60th pageant at the Planet Hollywood Resort & Casino on the Las Vegas Strip.
"Right now, I'm still kind of like - whoa!," Campanella said. Campanella replaces Miss USA 2010 Rima Fakih. The 25-year-old from Michigan teared up as she walked across the stage for her final goodbye.
