National Costume

I have read reports recently that this year will be the last time for having national costumes as part of the Miss Universe beauty pageant. So sad, as this is one of the events I look forward to aside from the evening gown competition.

As a tribute to this, I would like to post my favorite in this year's pageant. I also wanted her to obtain a spot in the quarterfinals (Top 15), but her gown in the preliminaries could have been better. Here's a beautiful national costume, anyway.
