Miss Universe Nigeria, Maristella Okpala, won the Best in National Costume award at the just concluded Miss Universe 2021 pageant, IgbereTV reports.

The 2021 Miss Universe grand finale took place in Eilat, Israel, on Sunday, December 12, 2021.

For the National Costume segment of the competition, Maristella Okpala wore an outfit inspired by the 'Mmanwa' masquerade from Southeastern Nigeria.

The costume was designed by Filipino fashion student Kennedy Jhon Gasper.

The costume featured a beaded headpiece, an ornate tribal mask, and an ancient back cape.

Designer Gasper took to Facebook to celebrate after his design worn by Maristella, which won Best in National Costume.

Mixture of Kenya and South-African Cultures.

This has no single semblance to any Nigerian Culture.

Madam, you tried for your creativity though.
That's a very good one

If not how gullible the Caucasians are, what's beautiful about this outfit?!

Very simple; you are surrounded with so much ugliness that you have taken it as part of your life. You therefore can't see good in others.

I'm sure the judges viewed the other costumes with same gullibility....

No resemblance ?but the Masquerade is an actual igbo diety
Apart from the head wear and several miniature irrelevances,
I say that's pretty much an igbo Inspired costume.

It’s possible for 2 people to look alike, with one being more beautiful. You see that all the time amongst siblings.
