Miss Pennsylvania Junior All American 2026

11 • Pittsburgh, PA

Paris Nicola Zarlingo is the reigning Miss Pennsylvania Junior All American, proudly representing the Keystone State. At 11 years old, Paris is a spirited competitor, model, athlete, and advocate who believes that kindness and confidence can make a difference.

Although Paris is still new to the pageant world, she has already discovered a love for the friendships, personal growth, and opportunities to serve that pageantry provides. At Miss All American, she was honored to earn the title of Miss Junior Pennsylvania All American, as well as Miss Congeniality and most photogenic, two awards that perfectly reflect both her outgoing personality and love of being in front of the camera.

Outside of pageantry, Paris has been modeling since the age of seven. She has appeared in publications, walked the runway at New York Fashion Week, modeled in Orlando, and even appeared on a billboard in Times Square. She is also a proud Rebel Athletic Ambassador and competitive cheerleader who loves flying and tumbling at TopGun Pittsburgh. When she’s not on the mat or in front of a camera, Paris enjoys dancing, playing softball, and horseback riding.

One of Paris’s greatest passions is helping other children. Inspired by own health challenges she faced with food allergies, she created Paris’s Allergen Safe Angels, an initiative dedicated to helping children and families gain access to allergen-friendly foods. She hopes to use her year as Miss Junior Pennsylvania All American to raise awareness, collect safe foods, and remind children with food allergies that they are never alone.

When she isn’t competing, modeling, cheering, or serving her community, Paris loves spending time with her friends and family and finding her next adventure. She is known for being supportive of the people around her, staying away from drama, and cheering just as loudly for others as she does for herself.

Paris is excited to spend her year representing Pennsylvania, growing in confidence, serving others, and making memories as Miss Pennsylvania Junior All American. She hopes to show other girls that you don’t have to choose just one dream, you can chase them all while staying kind, working hard, and being unapologetically yourself.

During her year as Miss Pennsylvania Junior All American, she hopes to make the most of every opportunity to serve, grow and represent her state. She hopes to expand Paris’s Allergen Safe Angels, volunteer throughout her community, attend parades, festivals, and community events. It is her goal to proudly promote the Miss All American organization and her sister title holders. She wants to end her reign knowing she made an impact.
