This isn't your father's Miss USA pageant.

That's what Donald Trump, who owns the pageant, is saying about this year's "glam portraits" that feature contestants in lacy lingerie and fishnet tights. The photos are posted on the pageant's website.

"We are in a different age. They are a little bit sexy but I'll tell you what - everybody's watching, so I have no problems with it," Trump, 63, told TV's "The Insider." "If you look at Miss America, it's now off network television - and we're doing better than ever, so I really have no problem with it."

The pageant airs Sunday on NBC from the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas.
