BEAUT GETS BOOT: Miss USA Rima Fakih waves from her float, as officials order Miss New York Davina Reeves to get off .
She reigned on their parade.
Miss New York Davina Reeves didn’t want to be just another face in the crowd at the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade — she wanted to be the star.
So the 27-year-old beauty queen, ever the New Yorker, muscled her way, uninvited, onto the float of Miss USA Rima Fakih, of Michigan.
Reeves, who gives up her tiara tonight when a new Miss New York is crowned in Albany, admitted to The Post that she wanted one last moment in the spotlight.

“It’s the biggest parade in the world, and my sister and I were like, ‘Hey, this is my last weekend as Miss New York — let’s go out with a bang,’ ” the mischievous miss said.
On Thursday morning, she donned her official sash and crown and hit the parade route with her sister, Ashley.
Looking the part of Miss Congeniality, she signed autographs and flashed a winning smile while her sister asked a parade official which float Miss New York was supposed to ride.
A man with a clipboard pointed them to Float No. 9, where Miss USA was ruling the roost atop the “Pep Rally” float.
“There was no lying, because that’s bad karma,” Reeves said.
“At first, it was just fantastic!” said Reeves, who swanned onto the float as if she belonged there. Fakih “was surprised but happy to see me.”
But with the hometown crowd cheering the local beauty a bit too loudly, Reeves wore out her welcome with Fakih’s handlers.
“Someone asked me to take off my crown, because Miss USA wasn’t wearing her crown,” said Reeves, who willingly stuffed her tiara into a backpack.
But she didn’t pack away her chutzpah. Still hamming it up, she was kicked to the back of the float five blocks later.
“They told me I needed to move, so I just nonchalantly moved to the back, like it was no big deal,” Reeves recalled.
By the time the float hit 72nd Street, parade officials had lost their patience.
“This woman from Macy’s with headphones on was talking on her walkie-talkie and running next to the float and told me I needed to get off the float completely,” Reeves said.
Reeves complied, but sidled up to a band of marching cheerleaders — dancing, signing autographs, mugging for photos and generally being the star she is.
By the time the float sailed into Midtown, Macy’s brass were ready to rumble.
“There was this woman there who was no bulls- – -,” Reeves recalled, chuckling. “She said, ‘Miss New York, I need you to leave the parade route. I don’t care how you leave, just go.’ ”
Reeves made sure cops escorted her away, to make it look as if she were rushing to a photo op.
The beauty queen, who lives in Long Island City, says she has “no regrets.”
“It was the most daredevil thing I ever did,” she said.
“We had a blast. This title is about growing, about being courageous and fearless . . . This was fun, and that’s what life’s about.”
