Ella Clark - Miss Crescent City & Miss Louisiana USA 2023 Contestant

We asked Ella a few questions about the upcoming Miss Louisiana USA pageant that she will be competing in.

- (Pageant Realm:) How are you feeling about the pageant now all the contestants have been announced and it's getting closer?

- (Ella:) I’m so pumped to meet all of the beautiful contestants! After competing for Miss Louisiana Teen USA and Miss Louisiana USA, the amount of connections and great friends I’ve made is very exciting. I’m itching to get to rehearsals; we all get to chat and meet each other there.

- (PR:) How has your prep been building up to Miss Louisiana USA?

- (E:) I’ve been working with my phenomenal sponsors and coaches, and it’s been smooth sailing. Although I’ve been training and preparing for stage and interview, at the end of the day, I always go into the weekend with the mindset of “I’m going to have fun and be confident in myself.” Whenever I won Miss Crescent City USA, I did just that. Pageant prep tends to get stressful, but I make sure to take it day by day while still being kind and lenient with myself.

- (PR:) What are you most excited about?

- (E:) Being back on stage! There’s something about bright lights and a crowd; it’s exhilarating. I enjoy interview, but I LOVE a good production and opportunity to model.

- (PR:) Are there any sponsors/partners you want to give a shoutout to?

- (E:) I want to say thank you to Megan Bologna for keeping me on track and helping me live a healthy and fulfilling lifestyle, Rhinestone Runway for always nailing my wardrobe, Raven Ramsey and Chloe Smikahl for believing in me and giving the best advice, Damion Haines for taking the most gorgeous photos, especially my official Miss Crescent City USA shoot, Ashley Stewart (the best director EVER,) and my Mom and Aunt Holly for the constant support. But ultimately, I owe everything to God.
