Kataluna Enriquez, 27, was named Miss Nevada at Sunday's pageant, which was held at South Point hotel-casino in Las Vegas. Next up, she'll head to Oklahoma for the Miss USA contest on November 29, where she will also be the first trans woman to vie for the national title. Kataluna was born in the Philippines and moved to the US at age 10.
She has won other pageants, though, including Queen California, Queen USA 2016, Super Sireyna WWUSA, an international transgender pageant called Queen of the Universe — and recently, the Miss Silver State USA preliminary pageant.
The first transgender contestant in the Miss Universe pageant — where Kataluna will compete if she wins Miss USA — was Angela Ponce, the 2018 Miss Spain.
