Vaeda Mann, Miss Mississippi Teen USA, is one of the favourite contestants to win this year's title.

"If it's meant to be, it's meant to be," she told Hattiesburg American. "I'm doing my best out here. There's no need to have a negative attitude."

"I can't stop smiling," Mann went on. "It's a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. I'm giddy just thinking about it. It seems like a dream."
