Selena Gomez’s kidney donor Francia Raisa led a cavalcade of stars on the red carpet at the Miss Teen USA pageant in Los Angeles this week.
Former Bachelorette Rachel Lindsay and reigning Miss USA titleholder Savannah Gankiewicz were also among the luminaries lending their shine to the event.
Savannah is currently Miss USA because the previous winner, Noelia Voigt, announced her shocking resignation in May citing mental health issues.
The last Miss Teen USA, 17-year-old UmaSofia Srivastava, also resigned her title two days later amid rumors of a “toxic atmosphere” within the organization.
However, the Miss Teen USA extravaganza continued apace on Thursday, with numerous entertainment figures walking the red carpet.

The organization was embroiled in controversy when Miss USA and Miss Teen USA sensationally resigned from their positions in May.
Teen beauty queen UmaSofia said in resigning from her title that her values ”no longer fully align with the direction of the organization.”
Sources later alleged to the The New York Post that winners were contractually required to put on a happy face while facing “harmful working conditions.”
