Miss Universe organization is all set to host the national costume competition for the 70th edition of the pageant on 10th December 2021 in Eilat, Israel, where the delegates from all over the globe will give their last try to win over the judges and the audience before the finale night. The stunning delegates will showcase their traditional costumes reflecting their respective countries’ culture and traditions.
One of the most recent revelations of costumes was presented by Miss Universe Nepal 2021 Sujita Basnet who will be donning the ‘Balance with Nature’ national costume for the competition, designed by Maharjan Vijay and crafted by the brand Kasa.
“This year for the National Costume, we go back to our roots and take inspiration from earthy elements, incorporating ethnic symbolism from Nepal’s 'Himal’, ‘Pahad’, and ‘Terai’,” Sujita shared. The 'tree branch' headpiece symbolizes the balance that humans need to with nature. Sujita's outfit is made from sustainable non-violent silk, whereas, the jewelry adorned are from different ethnicities of Nepal. The theme depicts the simplistic lifestyle that dominates Nepali heritage, one that was and is very much connected to Mother Nature.
Stepping into the shoes of Miss Universe Nepal 2020 Anshika Sharma, who performed exceptionally well at the last edition and was highly appreciated throughout her journey, Sujita is no less as she has been emerging as one fo the strongest bets for the title this year.
Since this was her last year in the pageant industry due to her age, 28 years-old Sujita took a last big step before she retires as she entered the national pageant. Along with her own dreams, she hopes to inspire the dreams of individuals across the nation through her initiative ‘Liberated’, an organization dedicated to empower women who are socially and financially bound from reaching their potential.
The 70th edition of Miss Universe pageant, Miss Universe 2021, is all set to be held on 13th December 2021 in Eilat, Israel as Miss Universe 2020 Andrea Meza of Mexico will crown her successor at the end of the event finale.
