Miss Nebraska flashes underwear on live television when she tries to reach over to get the attention of her fellow pageant candidate. Unfortunately, the camera was facing her straight-on as Miss Nebraska flashes underwear to the public, accidentally, of course.
Right when the 43-year-old host, Chris Harrison, said, "As they're looking through the beautiful gowns - not literally, that would be wrong - the judges will be looking at the personal style and flair of each of these contestants," Miss Nebraska flashes underwear in this perfect example of bad timing.
Megan Swanson, Miss Nebraska, was right beside Harrison during this segment. Perhaps she was the candidate who should have been most aware that she was on camera.
With regards to this blush-worthy moment, it would seem that Miss Nebraska was not the perfect embodiment of "style and fair" as the show's host so elegantly put it. But, then again, nobody is perfect. Surely, despite Miss Nebraska flashes underwear on live TV, she will be back in her heels in no time and will merely be brushing off this setback. At least, she wore underwear. If she opted to go commando for this live TV event, it would have been a whole other story.
Miss America 2015 also did not escape the scrutinizing eyes of the public. Numerous fans took to Twitter and other forms of social media to show their dismay about the evening's big winner.
The winner was the 23-year-old Miss New York Kira Kazantsev. Apart from the fans talking about Miss Nebraska flashes underwear on live television, Miss New York also received ire from fans as she was called out for her "embarrassing" and "bland" "Pitch Perfect"-inspired performance of Pharrell Williams' hit single "Happy." Apparently, America was not happy with how Miss New York played her cups, pun not intended.
