Jennifer Dupont (born March 24, 1981 in Shreveport, Louisiana) is an American beauty pageant contestant who represented Louisiana in Miss Teen USA 1998, Miss USA 2000, and Miss America 2005.
Dupont's first title was Miss Louisiana Teen USA 1998.[1][2] The national Miss Teen USA pageant was held close to her home town in Shreveport, Louisiana.[3] Eighteen months later, she won the Miss Louisiana USA 2000 title and at eighteen, was the youngest delegate to compete at Miss USA 2000, held in Branson, Missouri. She failed to place at either pageant.
In 2004 Dupont, at the age of 23, won the Miss America local preliminary title Miss Ouachita Parish and was later crowned Miss Louisiana at the state pageant. At the Miss America 2005 pageant held at Atlantic City, New Jersey she won a preliminary swimsuit award and placed first runner-up to Miss Alabama, Deidre Downs.[4] Having won state titles in the Miss Teen USA, Miss USA and Miss America pageants, which only six women have achieved as of 2006, she is known as a "Triple Crown" winner.
While still in high school Dupont became a novice elementary school teacher and later graduated from Louisiana State University with a degree in education. She was also a Golden Girl while at Louisiana State University. After graduation she opened her own dress shop in south Louisiana. Jennifer was recently married.
