After she mistook the Empire State Building for the Eiffel Tower during her onstage interview, then gracefully covering the mistake, Carla Sevcik walked away with the crowning title after Thursday’s Miss Lonsdale Pageant.

During the stage interview, pageant host Tom Goetzinger asked a travel-loving Sevcik why she would like to visit Paris, France.

With a bit of on-stage nervousness, Sevcik smiled and blurted, “To see the Empire State Building.”

Goetzinger then clarified the mistake for her.
