The pageant was the 1st edition under US Earth Productions headed by the new national director, Laura Clark. The pageant held its pre-pageant activities in Washington, D.C. prior to the crowning event.

The crowning moment became popular due to a wardrobe malfunction and the oversized crown. Video of the crowning has reached over 18 million views.{{Citation|title=Fail Crowning - 2016 Miss Earth United States - Corrin Stellakis|url=https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=khj87J1aQNs|language=en|access-date=2019-10-06}}
