Sorority girl Lily Stewart went viral for her \u201csmiling\u201d mugshot, drawing widespread attention as \u201cLocked up Miss America.\u201d This is what she looks like today.<\/strong><\/p>\n

An Alpha Chi Omega sorority member at the University of Georgia went viral as a \u201cmugshot beauty\u201d after being arrested for speeding in March 2025. In the photo Lily Stewart is seen smiling at the camera, quickly attracting attention online.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

According to\u00a0Fox News<\/a>, she was arrested after being pulled over twice within minutes for speeding \u201cin excess of maximum limits.\u201d A police report stated she was driving 79 mph in a 55 mph zone, and when she was pulled over a second time, she was going 84 mph in the same zone.<\/p>\n

\u201cGiven the excessive speeding and recent citation, I initiated another traffic stop. Upon stopping the vehicle, I instructed Ms. Stewart to exit and placed her under arrest, explaining the reason for the arrest,\u201d an officer said in the report, according to Fox News.<\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

\u201cThe arrest of Ms. Stewart was necessary to mitigate the immediate danger posed by her reckless driving. Removing her from the roadway served to prevent further violations and potential accidents, ensuring the safety of other motorists.\u201d<\/p>\n

What happened after the arrest<\/h2>\n

After her mugshot went viral, many people commented on her looks, with some even offering to bail her out because of her beauty.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe only crime here is stealing my heart,\u201d one person reportedly commented.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know what she did but free her,\u201d another comment read, while a third wrote: \u201cThey done locked up Miss America.\u201d<\/p>\n

In the aftermath, Stewart spoke to\u00a0PEOPLE,<\/a>\u00a0saying, \u201cThere are some beautiful mug shots. I don\u2019t think mine\u2019s particularly stunning,\u201d and adding, \u201cI actually think it\u2019s a bad photo of me. If you see me in person, I don\u2019t really look the same as I do in that mug shot. I don\u2019t think it\u2019s a great photo of me.\u201d<\/p>\n

However, her legal troubles didn\u2019t end there. Only a few weeks later, she was arrested again and charged with obstruction of a law enforcement officer and loitering\/prowling, according to PEOPLE.<\/p>\n

Following her first arrest, she was required to write a paper on the dangers of speeding. She told PEOPLE: \u201cI\u2019m going to say that speeding kills,\u201d she said, but added: \u201cIf you do get caught speeding, maybe get arrested for it.<\/p>\n

\u201cMaybe you\u2019ll go viral and get some Instagram followers.\u201d<\/p>\n

This is what she looks like today:<\/em><\/p>\n
