Elizabeth Ann Arnold (born 1980), also known as Lizzie Arnold, is an American beauty queen, socialite and aspiring actress.

Arnold, who hails from Columbia, Kentucky won the title Miss Kentucky Teen USA 1998 and first appeared on national television in the Miss Teen USA pageant held in Shreveport, Louisiana in August 1998. She failed to place in the pageant, which was won by Vanessa Minnillo of South Carolina.

Arnold returned to the spotlight in 2002 when she won the Miss Kentucky USA crown. She represented Kentucky in the Miss USA 2002 pageant won by Shauntay Hinton of the District of Columbia, but again failed to place. Arnolds "sister queen" for 2000 was Miss Kentucky Teen USA 2002 Tara Conner, who would later also win the Miss Kentucky USA crown, and became the first woman from Kentucky to win the Miss USA title.

At the time of her Miss USA reign, Arnold was a student at the University of Kentucky completing a degree with a major in Design, Merchandising and Textiles.

Having moved to Los Angeles, California, Arnold made the headlines again in 2006 when it was rumoured that she was romantically involved with 98 Degrees star Nick Lachey.[1] At the time it was erroneously reported that she was Miss Kentucky 2001, which caused confusion because the Miss Kentucky and Miss Kentucky USA pageants are unrelated. The reported year of her pageant title was also incorrect.[2] Lachey has also been romatically linked with pageant queen and MTV host Minnillo.[3]

Arnold hosted an NBA All-Star game in 2004 and in 2006 appeared at the "Us Magazine and Rolling Stone Rock the Oscars After Party" for the 2006 Oscars and the Crown Royal Playboy Club Kentucky Derby party. She also attended the Mint Jubilee Gala alongside and fellow Kentucky titleholders Tara Conner and Kristen Johnson. Arnold is slated to appear in the movie Stand by Your Man in 2006.
