"Coco Chanel famously said, "Before you leave the house, look in the mirror and take one thing off." If the 74th Annual Miss Universe pageant offered any fashion advice, it's this: Don't leave the house without your giant wolf head. Miss Mexico took the crown on November 21, but the high point of this year's event was its costume competition. Miss Estonia did indeed wear a gigantic headdress in the likeness of a wolf - a reference to Libahunt,"
"The best outfits were ones that tread the fine line between glamour and prop comedy. Miss Chile channeled Frozen in an icicle-like headpiece and a cape seemingly held aloft by two doves, while dolls of different races hung from Miss Curaçao's "Small World"-themed cape, and Miss Sri Lanka stood inside of an enormous brass teapot that evoked Disney World's famous spinning teacups. Miss Great Britain took a planned fall dressed as Eliza Doolittle from My Fair Lady, complete with a flower cart."
At the 74th Miss Universe pageant, contestants showcased extravagant national costumes that prioritized maximalist spectacle and oversized headpieces. Miss Mexico won the crown, while the costume contest stole attention with theatrical, prop-heavy designs. Competitors incorporated sequins, glitter, feathers, and elaborate props ranging from bedazzled instruments to faux sea creatures and giant animal motifs. Standout looks included Miss Estonia's wolf headdress, Miss Bonaire's neon mermaid ensemble, Miss Norway's salmon-inspired cape, Miss Chile's Frozen-like icicle headpiece, Miss Sri Lanka inside a brass teapot, and Miss Great Britain's planned Eliza Doolittle fall with a flower cart.
