Well, I'm glad that it was in the evening gown competition because there's a story on AOL that says she fell in the night gown competition. I was grossed out, thinking they'd sunk to new lows.

ETA AOL blurb:

A Curse?


'Miss Actress'
They competed for the crown, today we know them as actresses.

Halle Berry and more...
The déjà-vu of the pageant occurred when Miss USA fell during the night gown competition, just as it happened to last year’s contestant, Rachel Smith, during the 2007 Miss Universe pageant held in Mexico City. Crystle Stewart quickly stood up, applauded along with the audience and with a smile, continued to model as it nothing had happened. Some of the candidates had some interesting dress choices, such as Dominican Republic, wearing a tight gown adorned with crystals, Miss Mexico, with a white skirt and a see-through top that looked like a bra and Miss Colombia, with an interesting metallic design that was highly praised.
