Okay, so maybe it's a stretch to say she's actually...working out in her Sherri Hill -- but Rima Fakih, the gorgeous Miss USA 2010, is definitely working it!
Fakih, the gorgeous 25-year-old pageant winner, is seen wearing Sherri Hill style #1429.
Why, you ask, is she on a treadmill? The young beauty queen is prepping for the USA program WWE Tough Enough. I'm not sure how tough she looks (although the knee-high boots do add a superhero element to the outfit) but Rima definitely looks awesome.

Newly-crowned Miss World -- aka the 18-year-old Alexandria Mills -- is already traveling the globe to fulfill her duties as the queen: The Louisville, Kentucky native recently made a trip to Manila, Philippines, to visit young cancer patients at the city's Ospital ng Makati.
Mills made the trip with Botswana's Emma Wareus, who was first runner up to Mills in the recent Miss World competition, and the two visited with two young boys who have Acute Lymphoblastic Leukemia (ALL). We hope they were able to provide some cheer and company to the young patients.
Keep up the good work, ladies!
At last night's Miss America pageant, Delaware's Kayla Martell became only the third-ever Miss Delaware to make it to the top ten finalists -- and her story is truly inspiring. Martell, a 22-year-old native of Milford, Delaware, has alopecia areata -- an autoimmune disease that caused her to lose her hair at just ten years old. But she didn't let it stop her from pursuing her dreams -- and last night, Martell was an inspiring example to us all. "You can't be defined and shouldn't be defined by your hair," Martell told the Delaware Online in a recent interview.
Martell, who has competed in the Miss Delaware pageant five times (three times without wigs; two times with them) is a remarkable example of why it's worth it to fight for your dreams.
Did we mention she wore a Sherri Hill evening gown? (We'll update the post with photos as soon as we get some prints in.)
Congrats again to Kayla!
Congratulations to Teresa Scanlan, the 17-year-old from Nebraska who last night was crowned Miss America! And she was crowned in this gorgeous Sherri Hill dress! (Check it out on the left.)
The Nebraskan was the youngest woman to win the Miss America contest since it made its debut ninety years ago -- but Scanlan already has big plans for the future. In an interview with the Associated Press, she said she plans to eventually go to law school and become a politician so that she could "stand up for what's right, stand up for integrity and honesty."
"At this point, attorneys and politicians are looked down on and have terrible reputations for being greedy and power hungry," Scanlan said. "I really think it's important for people who have their heart and mind in the right place get into those powerful positions."
Congrats again to the beautiful winner! And check out another picture of her stunning in Sherri Hill after the jump.

Are you on a hunt for the perfect prom dress? Ready for your fifteen minutes of fame?
Now could be your chance to achieve both goals in one fell swoop: Sherri Hill is going to be featured in several episodes of a new Discovery reality show, Prom Queens. The show, which centers around young women who are getting ready for the big night -- is casting Friday, December 10 and Saturday December 11, in Oklahoma City -- and you could be its next participant. (Future casting dates and locations are likely to be added soon.)

Alexandria Mills, the first American to take the title of Miss World, might already be facing a Carrie Prejean-like scandal: Radar Online reports that there are some rather...unprofessional pictures of her making the internet circuits. The Kentucky-born 18-year-old, who has signed with the modeling agency Elite, beat out 115 other girls for the crown last month in Sanya, China. But if things go the way they did for Prejean, she may not get to hold on to it for long.
What do you guys think? If the rumors are indeed true (and Radar says that the website has seen and verified the authenticity of the photos) should the young woman be castigated? Or is this stuff none of our business?
...Speaking of Miss Universe: Ximena Navarrete wasn't the only contestant to don Sherri Hill on the night of the competition; all of the contestants wore versions of her original bandage dress design in the semifinalist lineup -- and Miss Ireland, Miss Albania and Miss Ukraine all wore Sherri Hill in the evening gown portion of the night.
Check out some additional images of the gowns here!
Earlier this week, Mexico's Jimena Navarrete was crowned Miss Universe 2010. The lovely 22-year-old, who was raised in Guadalajara, Mexico, wowed audiences with her poise, grace, and, of course, her beautiful Sherri Hill gown! Congrats, Ximena! Check out her Sherri Hill design, below:
It was only a few years ago that Carrie Prejean made a name for herself by using her Miss USA platform to oppose gay rights. But this year, Claire Buffie -- the 24-year-old Miss New York -- is doing just the opposite: She's competing on a gay rights platform.
"My platform is 'Straight for Equality: Let's Talk,'" said Buffie, in a recent interview. "I feel that it's really important to promote equality for all people, "all" being the main word. As a straight ally, I think it's so necessary to have that straight allies' support for the LGBT community. My platform is politically driven in that I think we need political reform for gay rights, but I've really taken it down to organizations like PFLAG where I have the opportunity for personal mentorship."
Duffie also emphasized the importance of breaking through stigmas and undoing stereotypes about all groups of people -- including women who compete in pageants. "Even upon entering my first local for the Miss America organization four years go, I had some of those stereotypes that are very common -- the hairspray, the eyelashes, the glue and the tape, and all those things," she said. "What I found was a group of incredibly intelligent, driven, and service-minded women. I have found my absolute best friends through this organization."
We'll keep an eye out for Miss Buffie as she heads to the main Miss USA event!
