Who won the contest “Miss Universe – 2023” and what impressed the audience with the national costume of the Ukrainian

On November 18, the Miss Universe 2023 competition was held in El Salvador. For the first time in the history of the competition, a country like Nicaragua won. The jury also noted that for the first time out of 86 countries, seven Latin American contestants entered the top 20. As always, the contestants were evaluated in several nominations.



As usual, girls were supposed to represent their country in national costume. Demonstrate yourself in evening dresses, swimsuits and take part in the quiz “Question-answer”. Every country prepares very carefully for this contest. Especially when it comes to the national costume. After all, this outfit should convey the whole peculiarity and uniqueness of the country without a single word. Well, in this nomination, the countries did as well as possible.



The representative of Nicaragua Sheinnis Palacios appeared before the jury and the audience in the costume of a black crow. The 23-year-old also won over the jury with her erudition. In her country she is an athlete and TV presenter. Graduated from Central American University in Mass Communications. This is not the first beauty contest for the girl, but only this year she brought the victory to her country. The first vice-miss was the representative of Thailand. And the third place was secured by a participant from Australia.



Ukrainian Angelina Usanova, although not in the final, won the audience with her outfits. All the dresses of our participant were not only national, but also very thematic. So the first outfit in which she defiled before the judges was the image of the Phoenix Bird. The designer of the dress is Iris Van Herpen. According to the girl, this dress represents Ukraine, which after each bombing rises from the ashes and reborn. Incredibly beautiful dress in dark shades, characterizing courage and sensuality, freedom and independence.



The image of a Ukrainian woman at the Miss Universe contest But the real furor was made by the dress “Bereginya Mother”. This symbolic image represents all the matter on the planet, which is protected or waiting for their children from the war. The MÜ production team worked on the creation of this image. To sew this masterpiece, it took 35 meters of chiffon fabric and 45 thousand decorative stones. Some details of the image were printed on a 3D printer, and on blue fabric a print of white clouds was specially printed. This symbol means a clear sky in which rockets and shells do not fly. In her hands, Angelina had the image of a child who personifies all Ukrainian angel children. They became innocent victims of this terrible war, which the organizers of the Ukrainian team did not miss the opportunity to mention even at the beauty contest. Beauty is possible only in a world without war and destruction.



And despite the fact that Ukraine did not make the final, Angelina Usanova took to the stage during the announcement of the winner. And again her luxurious image won the hearts of many spectators and participants of the competition. This time, the girl appeared in a dress that reflects the Ukrainian sky. The theme of the final was space, so the Ukrainian designer FROLOV designed a dress starry sky of Ukraine. The dress is hand-embroidered with stars in the constellations that can be seen over Ukraine. The designer was inspired by the Ukrainian folk song “Nich Yaka Misyachna”.



Instagram Edition "Site" Congratulations to Shainnis Palacios on the victory for Nicaragua. The girl presented her country with great dignity and brought her a well-deserved victory. But the images of the Ukrainian contestant Angelina Usanova will always remain in our hearts.
