Cheslie Kyrst is an American television presenter and beauty pageant titleholder who was crowned Miss USA 2019. She represented USA at Miss Universe 2019 where she was placed at Top 10. Kryst is a licensed attorney and has served as a correspondent for Extra since October 2019. She finds competing in swimsuits ‘empowering’. Her dad was a bodybuilder and her mom competed in pageants (she was Mrs. North Carolina US), so fitness and healthy eating were important in her home growing up. “My entire life, all I’ve done is be proud of my body,” Kryst told. Kryst addressed the debate over whether to wear her black hair natural to work in her fashion blog, White Collar Glam.
