The Miss USA 2015 pageant was a very special evening for 26-year-old Olivia Jordan of Oklahoma, crowned the belle of the ball ahead of 50 other women in a glittering event in Louisiana.

Despite the fact that Donald Trump had almost single-handedly sunk the pageant with a succession of racist tirades against Mexico the event went ahead, Jordan walking away with the coveted title. Earlier pageant officials were forced to chase last-minute replacements as broadcasters, sponsors and judges pulled out in protest against Trump.
The pageant was a close run affair with the following from the New York Post:
Twenty-two-year-old Ylianna Guerra of Texas was named first runner-up.
The competition had been narrowed down to five finalists also representing Rhode Island, Maryland, and Nevada before the winner was crowned Sunday night.
Let’s enjoy a few snaps of Olivia then…

Lol. People say things like. 'He has not even proposed talk more of walking down the aisle with me' 'He does not have a car,  talk less a house" Well these two expressions or collocations are not common in British and American English. Here are the universal conventional English collocations for Nigerian English's  'Talk more of' and 'Talk less of',  #LetAlone 'Let alone' is  used to indicate that something is far less likely or suitable than something else already mentioned.
