In every beauty pageant, national costumes should never be missing; they highlight the important culture and advocacy of the country each candidate represents.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s no secret that national costumes would be presented in various ways: traditional or modern, elegant or bold, simple or surprising. The candidates really dress to impress.<\/p>\n

Here are the beautifully made and showcased national costumes that really gave a show-stopping performance in Miss Universe 2023.<\/p>\n

1. El Salvador\u2019s Volcanic Glow<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Lighting up the stage and El Salvador with their very own Miss Universe, El Isabella Garcia-Manzo, an orange dress with elements of an erupting volcano that symbolizes the country\u2019s rebirth.<\/p>\n

Manzo entered with a fierce look before lighting up her headpiece, similar to the rays of the sun. She quickly pulled the string that released the illuminating feathers on her back.<\/p>\n

Her glowing costume complemented her radiant smile, and dimmed stage lights showed off her smoking performance.<\/p>\n

2. Guyana\u2019s Big Surprises<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The biggest national costume came from none other than Miss Universe Gayana Lisa Andrea Narine, with her incredible background props displaying the country\u2019s rich rainforest and wildlife.<\/p>\n

While the crowd thought her prop was a big surprise, Narine opened another surprise, revealing her backpiece with a giant lily interpretation design.<\/p>\n

Her fauna and floral national costume rocked fairy-core inspiration to a large level, quite literally.<\/p>\n

3. Myanmar\u2019s Savings Tree<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ninety percent of Myanmar people practice Buddhism, which is why Miss Universe Myanmar Amara Bo dedicated her national costume to the tradition of the \u2018Burmese virtue tree\u2019.<\/p>\n

On November 11, Miss Universe Myanmar posted on Instagram the tradition of the virtue tree, in which people donate part of their savings to monasteries during festivals.<\/p>\n

While she may have hinted at the costume inspiration, the crowd never predicted her costume design to become the Burmese virtue tree itself.<\/p>\n

4. Nicaragua\u2019s Grackle Wings<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Shining with black feathers is Miss Universe Nicaragua Sheynnis Palacios; her bird costume is inspired by grackles, a black and shining blue feathered bird that is seen near Lake Nicaragua.<\/p>\n

She awes the crowd even more by crouching down and imitating a flying grackle; she has fully immersed herself in the dark wings.<\/p>\n

In a glimpse, her performance resembles Katniss Everdeen\u2019s Mockingjay costume in the Hunger Games: Catching Fire film.<\/p>\n

5. Philippines\u2019 Salute And Tribute<\/h5>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Flying high with the planes is Miss Universe Philippines Michelle Dee. Michael Barassi was the designer of her golden national costume, matched with Philippine airline wings.<\/p>\n

Dee shared on Instagram that her designer, Michael Barassi, used the \u2018Solihiya\u2019 weaving technique for the bodice, which is usually done for rattan furniture, while the airline’s inspiration was a tribute to her role as an Air Force reservist.<\/p>\n

The added elements, such as the Philippine Airlines and tagline \u2018Love the Philippines’, were to promote the country\u2019s rich islands and hospitality culture.<\/p>\n

6. Ukraine\u2019s Unconditional Mother<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Serenity and peace were embodied by Miss Universe Ukraine Angeline Sunova; her national costume was a mother from the heavens defending a golden baby.<\/p>\n

Her national costume symbolizes the Ukraine-Russia war events in which Ukrainian children suffered the most, halting their education and their childhood.<\/p>\n

Miss Ukraine\u2019s expression displayed that of an angel, hoping to find peace amidst chaos.<\/p>\n

7. Venezuela\u2019s Dancing Devils<\/h3>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Another fierce costume came from Miss Universe Venezuela, Noela Voigt; her red feathers with a touch of gold and devil mask were inspired by the popular dancing devil festival.<\/p>\n

Miss Venezuela danced her way to the stage, fluttering her costume, which was handcrafted and embroidered with dazzling gold jewels.<\/p>\n

As previous Venezuelan candidates’ costumes were larger, the crowd still praised her simple yet shimmering costume; it was classy and fitting enough to showcase Venezuelan folklore.<\/p>\n

Flawlessly flaunting and elegantly strutting their national costume made them a fan favorite and showed the whole universe that they have what it takes to be the next Miss Universe 2023.<\/p>\n
