At the press conference after, she posed playfully with the crown on her head, often touching it as if she couldn’t believe it was real.

The 23-year-old moved to New York in 2008 with just a little money in her pocket and very, very big dreams. New York cheered the Alabama-born beauty on her success, more so because this is the first time a contestant from the state has won the crown since singer/actress Vanessa Williams’ victory in 1984.

Mallory had stiff competition from over 50 gorgeous young girls but eventually bested them all including runners up Miss Oklahoma Alicia Clifton and Miss South Carolina Ali Rogers who were quite the favorites with the judge’s panel.
