Ali Landry has transitioned from Miss USA titleholder and ‘Doritos Girl’ to an accomplished actress, host, and lifestyle brand owner. After securing the Miss USA 1996 crown, Ali Landry, the first former Miss Teen USA delegate to achieve this distinction, went on to gain widespread national recognition as ‘the Doritos Girl’ in a highly acclaimed Super Bowl commercial in 1998. This breakout role led to her being named one of People Magazine’s ’50 Most Beautiful People’ that same year. Prior to her Miss USA victory, Landry had established a strong foundation in pageantry, winning Miss Louisiana Teen USA in 1990, followed by Miss Louisiana USA in 1995, and representing the United States as a top finalist in the Miss Universe 1996 pageant.
Her consistent and evolving presence in entertainment and entrepreneurship underscores her diverse professional endeavors and commitment to engaging new projects across film, television, and brand development.
