The Miss Universe Beauty Pageant is the largest pageant to be televised live, and has been conducted annually since 1952. 67 years of this renowned competition has led to the development of higher standards of what beauty and fashion are considered. One of the newer developments in this program has been the National Costume show, which has been a vital and immensely popular part of the pageant.
During this portion of the competition, participants from each country adorn outrageously stunning outfits, dresses and wild national costumes, designed to display not only their personality but also representations of their varied nationality. These are the most absolutely awe-striking costumes from 2017, 2018, and 2019 that will make your eyes sparkle. Behold some of the most extravagant and fascinating national outfits appearing in the Miss Universe Pageant.
