De plaatselijke middenstand van Mount Rose in Minnesota organiseert een miss-verkiezing. Gladys, de moeder van één van de kanshebsters, is zelf ex-miss en zet alles op alles om haar dochter te laten winnen. Dochter Becky is een nietszeggend verwend nest dat, net als haar moeder, over lijken gaat. Ze is vooral goed in slijmen tegen de juryleden. Hun tegenhangers zijn een moeder en dochter uit een trailerpark. Dochter Amber wil carrière maken als tv-reporter en ziet deze miss-verkiezing als een opstapje. Haar moeder Annette ziet eruit als een ordinaire del, maar heeft een hart van goud.
Nee, helaas is Drop Dead Gorgeous nog niet beschikbaar op Netflix in Nederland.
