The title of Miss America USA 2013 now belongs to Miss New York Nina Davuluri, who successfully bested 52 other contestants from the different states of America and the representatives from Puerto Rico, Columbia and U.S. Virgin Islands on Sunday at Atlantic City, New Jersey.

For the first time since 2006, Atlantic City hosted the nation's oldest and arguably most coveted beauty pageant. And what a comeback it was as the night was filled with exciting production numbers and sexy hot catwalks.

The beauties were still the show's main attraction, burning the runaway with their swimsuit-ready bodies and stunning everybody with their wonderful gowns. However, at the end of the day, Miss America remained a competition of beauty and wit, and the 24-year old Davuluri outperformed everyone to win Miss America 2014 along with a magnificent tiara and a scholarship worth $50,000.
