A few of the national costumes are shown in this link. Miss Thailand is apparently a tuktuk? And Hungary couldn’t come up with anything better than a Rubik’s cube? Is Miss Lebanon supposed to be a leprechaun?
France’s costume is too painful to be a good choice.
My vote goes to Miss Paraguay, but I’m not sure why.
These are so much fun. That is a powerful amount of feathers on display. How do they get these things through airport security? That’s actually a serious question – I wonder what the long feather luggage looks like, and whether there’s a special process for handling those bags since the contents are so delicate.
Remember that there is a prize for the “best” national costume. Also keep in mind that, other than in the opening introductions, the costumes aren’t used.
I told myself not to click the link, but did I listen? Nooo …
If I were forced at gunpoint to cast a vote, I’d have to go for Ukraine. While I’m scarcely an expert on the “festival” wear of the region, my impression is that what she’s wearing is a somewhat exaggerated version of the same; so it’s miles/kilometres ahead of most of the others as regards “national costume.”
I do love how many of these ladies look like they’re about to become airborne and go soaring far above the stage.
(PS: The OP likes Miss Paraguay because she’s wearing only a faint sprinkling of golden pixie dust over her sex bits. And a pineapple with eyes on her head.)
Some more costumesat the pageant’s own site. Miss Great Britain is… well, yeah, British. Miss Bahamas is an almost naked fish; IMO if you’re talking beauty queens, almost naked is always a safe call.
Curaçao went a bit too cute: we get it, “Blue Curaçao”, right.
OK, so Miss Costa Rica is a coffee blossom, those are quite nice actually.
