Rose Parade
Texas Rose Festival Queen Emily Evans rides on the final float in the Rose Parade in Tyler, Texas Saturday Oct. 21, 2017. Costume designer Winn Morton envisioned Miss Evans as the sun, weaving bright colors of red, orange, gold and blue into the gown and train. The crown is composed of 14-karat gold and is solidly jeweled with gold beads, colored jewels, and dangling Swarovski crystals that look like shooting stars and reflect the light of the sun. The train is 16 feet long and 6 feet wide. (Sarah A. Miller/Tyler Morning Telegraph)
