Miss Mississippi 2022

Miss Mississippi State University Emmie Perkins won the title and will now represent the state at the Miss America competition.

The Top 10 were announced shortly after the Miss Mississippi competition began. After competing in Talent and Red Carpet Evening Wear, the judges selected the Top 5. Charity Lockridge, Miss Leaf River Valley, was named the 1st alternate, and Miss Mississippi State University, Emmie Perkins, won the title of Miss Mississippi 2022.

Perkins said, “I’ve worked very hard to be where I am today. I think, ultimately, I’m very passionate about what I do with music for our state of Mississippi. I was born and raised here in Mississippi. I’m an avid lover of the arts. It’s what shaped me into the young woman that I am today. So I’m so excited to spread that to our state. I couldn’t ask for a better platform and a larger platform to do that on.”
