ABOUT MISS BIKINI®
MORE THAN A PAGEANT. MORE THAN A MODEL SEARCH.
Founded in 2015, Miss Bikini® United States is a hybrid model search and pageant created to connect women with real opportunities in modeling, runway, fashion, television and entertainment. From aspiring models looking for a place to start to experienced talent ready for greater exposure, Miss Bikini brings contestants, photographers, designers, sponsors, media and industry professionals together in one high-energy experience.
WHERE MODELING, FASHION & ENTERTAINMENT MEET
Miss Bikini was built to be different from a traditional beauty pageant. Contestants can gain runway modeling experience, professional photos, portfolio content, castings, television exposure and industry connections while competing for Miss Bikini titles.
For women searching for how to start modeling, modeling opportunities for beginners, swimsuit model castings or pageants for women, Miss Bikini offers a place to learn, build confidence and get in front of the camera. For working models, it is another platform to expand their network, visibility and experience.

OPPORTUNITIES THAT GO BEYOND THE CROWN
The Miss Bikini experience is designed around opportunity. Contestants may participate in professional photo shoots, runway shows, Bikini Swim Week®, model castings, portfolio building, fashion events, content creation and television.
Miss Bikini also creates a meeting point for the people behind the industry. Photographers can discover and work with emerging talent. Designers and brands can showcase products and fashion. Sponsors can connect with a female-focused audience through live events, social content and entertainment. Media and casting professionals can discover personalities, stories and new faces.
COACHING, CONFIDENCE & COMMUNITY
Contestants are supported by experienced Miss Bikini Coaches who understand the journey firsthand. Coaches help women prepare for the event, understand what to expect and make the most of the modeling, runway and competition opportunities available to them.
That support is especially valuable for new models and first-time pageant contestants, but the Miss Bikini community extends well beyond competition weekend. Alumni return as titleholders, coaches, staff, collaborators and industry professionals — creating connections that continue to grow year after year.
FROM THE RUNWAY TO REALITY TV
The Miss Bikini world expanded to television with Miss Bikini Backstage, the reality series that takes audiences behind the scenes of the competition — from preparation and friendships to fashion, personalities and the unexpected moments viewers never see from the runway.
Regular seasons can be watched on Amazon Prime Video and Tubi, with extended content expanding the story online. For contestants and partners, the series creates opportunities globally for exposure across streaming, digital media and entertainment.
A LAUNCHPAD FOR WHAT COMES NEXT
Since 2015, Miss Bikini has helped introduce models and personalities who went on to build careers in modeling, acting, television, fashion and entertainment.

Look through the Miss Bikini titleholders and alumni and you are sure to see some familiar faces.
For contestants, creatives, sponsors, brands, photographers, media and fans, Miss Bikini is a place to connect, create, discover talent and become part of what comes next.
