“Let there be no mistake about the depth of beauty in these incredible 31 young women,” Tournament of Roses President Richard Chinen said before the announcement. “The intelligence, the talent, the passion are all easily discovered once you speak with any one of them.”
在公佈結果之前，該比賽的主席理查德說：“但願我們沒有低估這31名年輕姑娘每個人的美。如果你與她們交談，會發現她們個個聰慧過人、個個充滿激情與活力。”

The Royal Court will make as many as 100 media and community appearances, and reign over the 126th Rose Parade presented by Honda, themed “Inspiring Stories.” They also will attend the College Football Playoff Semifinal in the Rose Bowl Game, presented by Northwestern Mutual, on January 1, 2015.

“I hope that I can be a really good role model to a lot of girls that are watching the Rose Parade like I did when I was really little,” Shao said.
“我希望我能真正成爲觀看玫瑰遊行的女孩們的榜樣，就像我小時候看這個比賽，把比賽的選手當做榜樣一樣。”邵霞說。
