Miss Nevada USA Mary Sickler, Who Has Alopecia, Ditches Wig in Powerful Onstage Moment
It was more than just Mary Sickler‘s gown that was sparkling onstage.
As the current Miss Nevada USA took the stage at the Miss USA preliminaries Oct. 22, she decided to leave her chocolate brown wig backstage for the evening wear portion of the competition.
While Mary—who was diagnosed with alopecia universalis in December 2024—first stepped out in a red bikini and a brunette wig for the swimsuit round, she decided to embrace her baldness for her final look.
Indeed, she dazzled in a jewel-encrusted headpiece that matched her blue and silver form-fitting gown. She completed the look with sparkling teardrop earrings and a smoky makeup look.
Following the powerful onstage moment, the 22-year-old—who was crowned Miss Nevada USA in July—reflected on being the first woman with alopecia to compete in the national beauty pageant.
“This dream has been so many years in the making, and to finally step into this moment feels surreal,” she wrote on Instagram Oct. 22. “I never imagined I would walk that stage in this way, but I always hoped I would do it with confidence, authenticity, and grace.”
LAS VEGAS (FOX5) — Attorney General Aaron Ford’s office says Nevada and other states reached a settlement with Hyundai and Kia for selling cars that lack industry-standard anti-theft technology.
“Hyundai and Kia did not meet their responsibilities to the public and created a public safety issue by neglecting to use industry-standard technology on their vehicles,” Ford said. “I strongly urge any impacted Nevadans to make use of this settlement agreement to install these safety measures and, if eligible, to seek monetary restitution.”
As part of the settlement, the automakers agreed to equip all future cars with the anti-theft technology and offer ignition cylinder protectors to owners or leasees of eligible vehicles.
In statements, both companies affirmed their commitment to work with law enforcement to combat car theft.
According to a media release, consumers who previously installed the software update on their vehicles (or were scheduled to do so) but nonetheless experienced a theft or attempted theft of their vehicle on or after April 29, 2025, are eligible to file a claim for restitution for certain theft and attempted-theft related expenses.
