    So Ireland's national costume is a hat.

    The national costume in Mauritius appears to be to cover your bits with leaves so that the lord won't know you're naked and have eaten of the forbidden apple the snake offered you.

    Miss Holland is dressed like a windmill and even has her own sails.

    Meh.

    Free pie from President Britney though. Free pie.

    Once she doesn't look or act like Rosanna Davidson, she can wear a fcuking bin-liner as far as I'm concerned.

    It looks like somebody got a bunch of 10 year old girls on a sugar buzz and said 'Youse are the stylists'.......

    And we're 'classically styled' compared to some of them. 'Miss China' ....somebodys going for re-education when they get home there....

    I like that they just fecked Ms. Canada in a purple swinsuit, there you go love, put some maple sauce on that... some of this stuff can only have been the result of weaponised hallucinogens...

    look at how elaborate the other costumes are, do you think miss ireland mum's forgot to make her costume and had to make it that morning after a quick trip to carrolls shop.

    THe USA national dress is of a NASCAR babe it turns out. I think we are talking about playing on popular sterotypes not actual culture.

    Miss Czech Republic Iveta Lutovska FTW

    The Miss Universe competition is a fix!
    Did you ever notice that it's always won by someone from Earth?

    Miss Germany has made a good effort, but her palm is facing the wrong way.#29.

    I actually can't think what our national dress is for sure.

    Maybe a an Aran jumper? Probably not the best for showing off anything but a beer gut though:D

    You'd think the style team would put her in something like a slutty Irish dancing costume. :/

    The hat pulls the whole outfit together, tbh.

    I had the exact same thought! they couldve given her a very short irish dancing dress with a low cut neckline! but no, they gave her a fcukin flag! :rolleyes:
