Subject: Actually, it was a red gown (also by Stephen Yearick) that Leanza purposedly disabled. The white gown you reference she was crowned in, as all the contestants wore white in the closing number. She borrowed the white gown and long gloves from a friend. But otherwise, you're right.

She hated that gown, she didn't feel confident in it. When she told them she wanted to wear the yellow gown if she made the top ten, again, they put their foot down and said "no". So backstage, Leanza purposely disabled the zipper on the white gown, so she could not wear it. She wore the yellow gown, and became the first Miss Florida to win Miss America." on 18:14:46 10/17/24 Thu [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Subject Author Date Well at 6:40 she is wearing a white gown during evening gown preliminaries. I was always told it was her white gown from state. There are photos of her wearing the red gown with her Miss A crown. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TkkA2PMmUG8&t=403s No name (c-73-98-223-111.hsd1.ut.comcast.net/73.98.223.111) 15:04:39 10/18/24 Fri Leanza had two white gowns. One was her preliminary competition gown. The other was the borrowed gown (with gloves) which she wore for the all-white finale and crowning.

(NT) -- No name, 10:48:07 10/19/24 Sat (syn-065-024-160-016.res.spectrum.com/65.24.160.16) Likewise, her talent gown looks white on YouTube but I swear to you that it was NOT white: I would say yellow, perhaps tan. It's wild how these old videos make so many gowns look white. Can any other old-timers confirm this? Thanks! (NT) -- No name, 00:12:37 10/20/24 Sun (NoHost/50.249.76.118) I thought her competition evening gown was pink; not white? Regardless, she cut the zipper and wore the yellow one on Saturday night.

(NT) -- No name, 19:32:20 10/19/24 Sat (syn-065-024-160-016.res.spectrum.com/65.24.160.16) It was indeed a peach/blush/pink gown, strapless with a full skirt. Pretty gown, but didn’t make the impression that the yellow gown did. (NT) -- No name, 04:44:44 10/20/24 Sun (c-73-152-66-197.hsd1.va.comcast.net/73.152.66.197)
