My current obsession is: my Andrea Valentini purse! She’s a Rhode Island designer. They’re all really good leather projects.
The pageant movie I'm obsessed with is: Miss Congeniality, hands down! I could quote everything from that movie. I love so many scenes, but I always find myself quoting the scene when Sandra Bullock goes, “I really do just want world peace!”
My most embarrassing pageant moment ever: Oh my God, I have so many! Everything that could have gone wrong, went wrong. Seriously, state level and Miss USA because Miss Rhode Island was my first pageant ever. The morning of the first day, I slept past my alarm because I put it on p.m. instead of a.m., and I had to just roll out of bed and run to the interview. I was in a white dress, and I remember I sat in my car and looked over at these chocolate wrappers my brother had left from the day before. When I got out of the car, I looked down on the seat, and it was melted and on the back of my dress! My white, tight, tight, interview dress. So I had to run downstairs [to the bathroom] in this venue, and these girls that have been competing forever were like, 'Who is this girl?' And I’m sitting there blow drying the back of my dress--It was so embarrassing. Then during Miss USA, my earring fell off while I was answering one of my questions.
Glamour: What did you do?
I kept the other one in my hand, so that was a big mess up. Those two things were pretty bad.
My go-to pageant beauty tricks: I love Evian face spray because it's a really easy way to just freshen up your face, especially if you’re traveling on an airplane--I get really dry on airplanes. Also, just drinking a ton of water.
The song I'm listening to non-stop is: "Call Me Maybe!" It’s following me everywhere!
The meal I'm obsessed with is: peanut butter and jelly, and I haven’t been able to eat it yet. It’s so simple, but I love it. Glamour: When will you get to eat it next? Tonight! We just made the food orders last night, so my groceries are in the apartment, and I will have a peanut butter and jelly tonight.
The viral video I'm most obsessed with is: “Call Me Maybe.” I have really only seen the Miss USA one because I wanted to see Donald Trump sing!
My all-time favorite pageant dress: Well, like I said before, Miss Rhode Island was my first pageant, and I rented my dress for $20. There was a hole in the back because it was too small. It just goes to show it’s not just about the glamour, and we’re not all glamour beauty queens. It’s about feeling confident and being yourself.
The show I'm obsessed with watching is: Say Yes to the Dress! Because I love the whole makeover idea, and I’m a sap for love, of course.
The next time I have some time to myself, I'm going to: I really need a manicure! I think I’m just going to take a nap.
The craziest pageant moment so far has been definitely when: I won, of course. Also, when I was on stage before Miss USA, I was trying to do all these fancy turns because I thought I could turn on stage. Who knows what I was thinking, but I really wanted to do a turn because I wanted to stand out. I kept practicing my spins during rehearsals, and every time I tried to do my turns I would trip on my dress. It was not going as I had planned, so that was not fun, and it brought down my confidence really low. But it worked out in the end!
My current girl crush is: Angelina Jolie. She is breathtakingly beautiful, and I also am obsessed with Audrey Hepburn.
My first celeb crush was: Justin Timberlake from *NSYNC, of course! But then he started wearing that fedora all the time, so I just got over it!
The one thing I could go bankrupt buying is: dining and nice dinners, and also shoes. I’m a real girly-girl.
The most random thing I keep in my purse is: my Audrey Hepburn journal that I carry everywhere! I write everything in it. I was just reading this morning a note that I wrote on June 2, which was the day before I won. I was writing that we were meeting Donald Trump. I was really nervous, and I was so excited that I met Giuliana Rancic, and I couldn’t wait for the next day.
My first impression of Donald Trump was: during the media tour, and I was just excited to be meeting the person that made it possible for me to be there. He’s funny! And he’s obviously a brilliant American entrepreneur, so it was an honor.
What it feels like to be Miss USA: This is only the first 48 hours, and it feels great. I can’t believe that I actually won, and I can’t believe that I’ll be given such a great platform. I couldn’t be more excited, and I can’t believe I won out of the other girls because everyone else was so awesome, too!
