If ever you need fitspo for summer 2019, the Miss USAcompetition has your back. But if you’re also looking for style inspiration when it comes to picking out the perfect bikini, the swimsuit portion of the show has your back. When the show aired on May 2 — and, spoiler alert, the gorgeous Miss North Carolina took the crown — we couldn’t stop thinking about all the incredible bathing suits the ladies were wearing. Seriously, this was some Kourtney Kardashian laying out by the pool, Jordyn Woods working her curves, Barbara Palvin out on the water realness. Know what we mean? If you think you can handle the heat, we’ve got photos of the top 15 Miss USA contestants strutting their stuff in swimsuits. Check out the pictures in the gallery below.
Looking good in leopard print! Miss Arkansas was working her spots while showing off her toned abs in a twisted top. The hoop earrings added even more extra sass, not that she needed it.

Seriously, where can we get this kind of muscle definition, though? With a journalism degree under her belt and abs for days, the 24-year-old looked strong AF while working the runway.

Miss District of Columbia, Cordelia Cranshaw
Miss D.C. kept it classic and classy when she stepped out in her plain black bikini — but other than the color, there was nothing else plain about it. The 26-year-old killed it.

She kept her look simple — and we couldn’t look away. That hip pop as she posed at the end of the runway screamed confidence, and the nonprofit she founded proves she’s plenty kind, too.

Miss Florida, Nicolette Jennings
A pop of purple was just perfect for Miss Florida. And as someone who comes from the Sunshine State, she’s got to be pretty much a bikini expert at this point, right?

Miss Hawaii, Lacie Choy
Miss Hawaii’s cross strap had us seeing what we could DIY the swimsuit tops we already have. The 20-year-old was born and raised on the islands, and she’s all about keeping things green.

Lacie Choy’s Swimsuit
The rhinestones added just a little bit of glam, and we’re stealing this whole look the second that we get the chance. It’s official, BTW: The hoop earrings were the statement piece of the night.

Miss Iowa, Baylee Drezek
Iowa kept things sweet with a floral print stamped across her monokini, but sassy with the cut of the suit. The 21-year-old’s style has sexy kindergarten teacher vibes, which is perfect for a woman who dreams of opening her own daycare center.

Even with the sash cutting across her stomach, Baylee’s taut tummy is giving us serious ab envy. And can we talk about her arms, too?

Miss Kansas, Alyssa Klinzing
Miss Kansas’ looks was flirty and fun with the lace ruffle draped across her top. It’s clear this homegrown beauty is staying busy at the gym, too.

At 21, she’s got her eye on the white house — and she’s got the white hot bikini to go with it. We’re loving all the little details in her look.

Miss Louisiana, Victoria Paul
It’s official: Florals are in for the summer! Miss Louisiana’s top paired the flowery pattern with a scalloped hem and it couldn’t be cuter.

Her abs are also legit insane. How many crunches do we need to do to pull off a look like this? How much cardio? And how does she have time to hit the gym as a nurse working in emergency medicine? We need her scheduling skills, stat.

Miss Maryland, Mariela Pepin
First of all, we need to talk about Miss Maryland’s hair. Those big, bouncy waves are absolutely everything, and we need them to figure out how to do that to our hair, like, yesterday.

But her bikini is pretty bangin’, too. At 23, she’s studied four different languages, and her style is seriously speaking our language if you know what we mean.

Miss Minnesota, Cat Stanley
Miss Minnesota showed off her strength in a teeny bikini, and she looked fire. With dreams of being a dermatologist, we bet she’d look just as good in a white coat as a white bathing suit.

The 23-year-old’s six-pack also stole the show when she stepped out. With another bikini belt gracing the stage, we already know what our look is going to be for summer.

Miss Nevada, Tianna Tuamoheloa
26-year-old Tianna used to be an athlete, and it’s clear with all of the work she’s put in for her figure. She combines her athletic prowess with her performing arts passion and puts it all to work.

She’s clearly a natural as she shows off her stuff, and we’re thinking maybe we should start spending more time on the court and the stage, too.

Miss New Mexico, Alejandra Gonzalez
Miss New Mexico very nearly secured the crown for herself as the first runner up, and with that body, it’s clear she does plenty of running in her spare time.

At 26, she’s got her master’s in accounting, and we’re crunching the numbers on just how many weekly workouts it takes to get so taut and toned.

Miss North Carolina, Cheslie Kryst
Miss North Carolina? You can call her Miss USA now, because she’s the reigning queen of the competition — and her whole look makes us want to shout, “Yass, kween!”

Cheslie Kryst’s Swimsuit
Her body is fire, and so is her light brown swimsuit showing off every single muscle in her torso. With a law degree and an MBA at 28, she’s basically ready to take over the universe, and we’re ready to follow her lead.

Miss Ohio, Alice Magoto
Don’t get it twisted — this actually isn’t the exact same monokini that Miss Iowa rocked. With a slightly different print, Miss Ohio is putting hero own spin on the look and making it all her own.

Alice Magoto’s Swimsuit
The 21-year-old is planning to start her own lifestyle brand, and she’s already committed to living a Photoshop-free life. With that body, it’s clear she doesn’t need any retouching anyway!

Miss Oklahoma, Triana Browne
The second runner up, 26-year-old Triana nearly stole the whole dang show. As a Native American ambassador and nonprofit founder, she’s all about making major change in the world.

She’s also got killer curves — because, seriously, we just might kill to get a booty like that. She’s also got one of the flattest tummies we’ve ever seen, so she’s basically goals all around.

Miss Pennsylvania, Kailyn Marie Perez
At 27, Miss Pennsylvania has already graduated from law school, worked as a guest host on the Home Shopping Network, and set her eye on politics — but her dance career is pretty impressive, too.

Everyone looked stunning.
We’re just gonna chug a green juice, do some squats, and maybe a little online shopping over the weekend. That should be enough to have us looking like all these gorgeous ladies, right?
