Olivia Culpo was crowned Miss USA last night in Las Vegas. She will represent the United States at the Miss Universe 2012 pageant in December.
The 20-year-old beat out a field of 51 contestants in the national competition after becoming Miss Rhode Island USA 2012 on September 18, 2011.
An accomplished musician, Culpo participated in the Rhode Island Philharmonic Youth Orchestra and later in the Rhode Island All-State Orchestra as a cellist, winning a seat at Boston Symphony Hall and Carnegie Hall.
