Monique Evans (born January 17, 1992) is an American beauty pageant titleholder from Austin, Texas, who was named Miss Texas 2014. She competed for the Miss America 2015 title in September 2014 and placed in the Top 16 as a semi-finalist.
Evans won the Miss Austin 2011 crown and placed 8th at the Miss Texas 2011 pageant. Evans was named Miss Hunt County 2012 on October 29, 2011, and placed 11th at the Miss Texas 2012 competition. Evans won the 2013 Miss Dallas competition but was not a Top 5 finalist during the Miss Texas 2013 pageant. In July 2013, Gulfshore Life magazine named her one of three finalists in their "Model of the Year" contest for amateur models with ties to Southwest Florida.
In November 2013, Evans earned the title of Miss Park Cities 2014 and the right to compete for the Miss Texas 2014 crown. Evans is a professionally trained ballerina, and her 2014 Miss Texas competition talent was performing ballet en pointe to "Requiem for a Tower". Evans won the Miss Texas title on July 5, 2014, when she received her crown from outgoing titleholder Ivana Hall at the Eisemann Center for Performing Arts in Richardson, Texas. Prizes for winning Miss Texas include a $10,000 cash scholarship, a wardrobe by fashion designer Vince Camuto, and use of an automobile from Grubbs Infiniti in Euless, Texas, while she holds the title.
As Miss Texas 2014, Evans competed to be crowned Miss America 2015 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on Sunday, September 14, 2014. Her platform, "Remember Your Heart: One Beat at a Time", focused on heart disease prevention and was inspired by cardiac issues in her immediate family. She placed in the Top 16 as a semi-finalist. During her year of service, Evans made a record-setting 470 appearances as Miss Texas.
