Builder Aarieanna Ware Misses USA Crown But Still Reigns Over Dallas Real Estate
Share News:
Miss Texas Aarieanna Ware didn’t take home the title of Miss USA on Sunday, but the Dallas luxury home builder and designer made the top 10 semifinalists, repping Texas well.
At least she made some amazing friendships that she’ll cherish for a lifetime. (Kidding. She didn’t say that, but by the looks of her Instagram page, she had the time of her life bonding with other Miss USA contestants in California last week). Update: Ware reached out to CandysDirt.com on Tuesday morning, thanked us for watching, and said, “I had the time of my life.”
If you’re keeping score, Miss Michigan Alma Cooper was crowned Miss USA, People magazine reported late Sunday. Cooper beat out Miss Kentucky Connor Perry and Miss Oklahoma Danika Christopherson.
If you’re really keeping score, Cooper was crowned by the reigning Miss USA 2023 Savannah Gankiewicz, who recently accepted the crown in May, shortly after the resignation of the former titleholder, Noelia Voigt. Wait, what? The People magazine article referenced the “shocking” May resignations of the 2023 Miss USA and Miss Teen USA. You can scroll back to that rabbit hole in just a bit.
Ware, 26, told CandysDirt.com in July that she grew up watching pageants. The very first time she entered a pageant, she won the title of Miss Dallas and then won again at the Miss Texas pageant.
Women in Construction
Aarieanna Ware, who found a passion for encouraging other young women this pageant season, knows the value of hard work in a competitive industry. She designs and builds luxury real estate for her own company, Kenmare Homes.
Dallas Realtor Nadine Meyer of The Meyer Group is a longtime friend of Ware’s and told CandysDirt.com that the young pageant queen and builder is an amazing person.
“Working with Aarieanna is an incredible experience,” Meyer said. “She is beautiful both inside and out, highly successful, and creates stunning homes. She inspires countless young women, demonstrating that with hard work and dedication, anything is achievable. Dallas should be proud to call her Miss Texas.”
Ware thrives in new construction and uses sustainable materials.
“There are a thousand builders in Dallas, and I wanted to separate myself and give consumers the option to have a home that was built differently,” she said.
She builds three-story duplexes and single-family homes near Mockingbird Lane. Her favorite home was her first new construction build on Winton Street. She completed it in 2021.
“It’s a big glass A-frame duplex,” she said. “That home is probably the most important because it was the first. I would doodle a very similar home because it’s what I grew up seeing. It’s very Scandinavian and German architecture.
“To be able to build something like that was a really big deal for me. It kind of just cemented that I was meant to do this.”
