Crowned: The Mother of All Pageants is an eight-episode competition that featured multiple mother-daughter teams working together as pairs to win a beauty pageant competition.[1] [2] [3] The show ran for eight episodes on The CW from December 12, 2007, to January 30, 2008.[4]

The competition was judged by Carson Kressley, Shanna Moakler and television personality Cynthia Garrett.

Each pair attempted to brand a 'style' for their mother/daughter team via clothing and swimwear, create ways of expressing a point of view about issues in the world, and practice for the big pageant dance number. The prize package included a $100,000 cash award, a custom-designed platinum and diamond crown necklace,[5] and tiaras.

The show was a production of Swim Entertainment and Fox Television Studios, with creator/executive producer Laurie Girion (Cheerleader Nation, Last Comic Standing 2).[6]

On May 13, 2008, The CW officially cancelled the series.[7]
