The dresses all looked alike because they were all designed by Sherri Hill (for some reason I saw something else but ah well) this year. He consulted with each contestant about their gown to fit their personalities. I also saw a quote by Mallory Hytes Hagan, Miss America 2013, that mentioned it was meant to be beneficial to the contestants because the evening gown dress is such a big part of the girls' pageant expenses—she said hers was $400 and that it was an exception because most of them are $2,000 or so.

I also hate to say this…but I would have liked for Miss Oklahoma to have picked a different talent, something other than singing. Though, she could have been having a case of nerves—it just seemed like she was off pitch in some spots.

Miss Tennessee's talent dress is to die for.
