OXFORD, Miss. – An annual trunk show featuring Miss University showcasing her wardrobe and talent in advance of the state pageant was held July 2 on the Ole Miss campus.

Conerly showcased everything from her interview dress and swimwear to her evening gown. Conerly also performed her talent, “The Jewel Song” from Charles Gounod’s Faust.

“This trunk show will help me prepare for the Miss Mississippi pageant by allowing me to wear the competition wear on stage,” Conerly said. “(It) also helps me feel the love and support from my family and friends.Since being crowned Miss University, Conerly has volunteered at Willie Price Nursery on campus and has also been very involved in promoting MAAE. The Miss Mississippi pageant will take place in Vicksburg beginning today and ending Saturday. The pageant can be seen live on the official Miss Mississippi Pro 2013 app for Apple, Windows and Android.
