Be ready to go crazy over the Miss Universe 2021 competition.
80 contestants from around the world celebrated their country’s culture and heritage during the national costume presentation of the pageant on Friday, Dec. 10, which is being held in Israel’s coastal city of Eilat.
Not that anyone expected anything less, but contestants dazzled on stage in elaborate and one-of-a-kind costumes that represented their nation. From over-the-top designs that captured their country’s biggest exports to modeling traditional looks from their region, each contestant put their own spin on the category and showcased their pride for their country.
The beauty queens wore stunning costumes and lit up the stage with stylish evening dresses and swimsuits. This is just one of the categories on which women will be judged before Sunday December 12.
