Catch a sneak peek of the wildest outfits from the Miss Universe 2024 national costume contest, where the outlandish becomes the norm! #MissUniverse2024

The spotlight is shining on Mexico as it hosts the 73rd annual Miss Universe pageant, and the excitement was palpable at the recent national costume contest! This year, contestants from 125 countries brought their A-game, showcasing their national pride and creativity through colorful and sometimes downright outrageous outfits. From feathered masterpieces to costumes inspired by folklore, the variety was nothing short of spectacular and definitely made for some unforgettable moments!

With legendary hosts Mario Lopez and former Miss Universe Olivia Culpo, the event was a feast for the eyes and a showcase for cultural diversity. Among the stunning ensembles were outfits that looked like they soared straight off the stage of a Broadway musical. One contestant’s costume resembled a giant roulette wheel, and another rocked a look inspired by a celestial goddess. If you thought national pride was boring, think again! These women turned it into a dazzling performance with flair and originality.

As we gear up for the grand finale on November 16 in Mexico City, excitement continues to build. The preliminary competition included countless head-turning entries, and highlights from the national costume contest will certainly be discussed for years to come. An incredible array of looks was presented, but it was Michelle Dee from the Philippines who dazzled judges last year, clinching the title for her costume, and set the bar high for this year’s participants.

But wait, there’s more to this spectacular event! Not only does the Miss Universe pageant highlight breathtaking beauty and creativity, but it also serves as a platform for contestants to promote important causes and cultural heritage. This year’s version promises a unifying celebration, especially as it draws on vibrant Mexican folklore, making the event not just about beauty, but also about bringing people together in harmony. Did you know that the pageant has been celebrating beauty and cultural diversity since 1952? It's true, and over the decades, it has evolved to be more inclusive, embracing the differences that unite us all!
