Kataluna Enriquez made history in Nevada when she was crowned Miss Silver State USA, the first transgender woman to do so in the history of the beauty pageant. According to KVVU-TV, the road to the crown hasn’t always been easy for the 27-year-old fashion designer, with one pageant requiring her to prove she was female before allowing her to compete. Miss Silver State USA is considered the most prestigious preliminary competition for the Miss Nevada USA competition, and her most recent win earned her a place in the statewide pageant.
