Hannah Neeleman likes and subscribes to the new Mrs. American.
One year after taking home the crown at the beauty pageant's 2023 competition, the TikToker—known for making from-scratch cooking and lifestyle videos under the moniker Ballerina Farm—returned to Las Vegas to pass her tiara on to her successor on Aug. 28.
"Made it to Las Vegas," Hannah wrote in an Aug. 25 TikTok Story alongside of a mirror selfie of her wearing her crown and a bejeweled white gown. "Let the pageant festivities begin."
And the influencer continued to document her experience at the 2024 event, sharing photos of her looks for each night so far and her reunion with her fellow Mrs. World 2024 competitors, as well as videos of her helping this year's contestants prepare for the interview portion of the competition.
"This group of women has been remarkably united," Hannah said of 2024 pageanters in an Aug. 25 Instagram Story. "Went to tell these ladies it was their time to go in and they were praying together."
And along for the ride with Hannah each day? Her and husband Daniel Neeleman's 6-month-old daughter Flora, who was also with the 34-year-old when she won last year's contest.
"Heading to Las Vegas next week to crown my successor," Hannah shared in an Aug. 19 Instagram post. "I was 20 weeks pregnant with miss Flora Jo during this pageant."
Noting that the evening she took home the top honor was "a night I will never forget," she added, "This year has flown by."
This isn't the first time Hannah—who also shares kids Henry, 12, Charles, 10, George, 9, Frances, 7, Lois, 5, Martha, 3, Mabel, 2, with Daniel—has opened up about balancing motherhood with competing in beauty pageants. Back in January, the matriarch detailed what it was like competing in the Mrs. World 2024 pageant two weeks after giving birth to Flora, saying that she was "still bleeding a little."
“A lot of us have kids," Hannah told the New York Times at the time, “and I don’t think there’s any shame in showing I just had a baby. Like, I’m not going to have a perfectly flat stomach.”
