    My dream is that one day the national costumes pageant will go full on cosplay, with Japan dressing as Sailor Moon and the USA, perhaps, dressing as a Klingon or a Star Wars character. Some day.

    This thread is useless without pics.

    @valhalla130 I'm adding pictures to my previous posts as I find them online.

    I did not mean that as any commentary on you or the thread. It just seemed appropriate.

    You're doing the thread god's work here.

    USA is a lot more demure than in previous years.

    But I'm a fan of how clean it looks.

    I'm starting to feel like only Canada knows how to do the proper amount of crazy this contest calls for anymore.

    I firmly believe Canada is the most reliable provider of crazy when and where it's most required. The rest of the world is just too random!

    Did I read your right that NZ's costume transformed?

    Yes, I tried to find a gif or video but I haven't had any luck yet. It was so-so. A fine dress, but not crazy.

    Japan's costume had the best transformation, I think. New Zealand's was probably second best. Aruba and Brazil transformed as well. Oh, and Ecuador's didn't transform exactly, but she had this multi-leveled skirt and she'd pick up different levels and dance them around.

    Did someone staple packing paper to drywall? Isn't this kind of a big deal? The production values on the costumes are great, but they're surrounded by chintz. Like the stupid rhyming intros.

    That was the preview/warmup @ the planet Hollywood in Las Vegas

    Also you have all learned a new fun fact, which is that in Malaysia and Thailand you eat with a spoon and a fork, because fuck knives and chopsticks I guess. Do they explain this during the show or do they just do rhymes?

    Also also, Singapore's costume is supposed to be one of the supertrees...

    They didn't explain the utensils, just that this rice dish was a deal in Malaysia, and that it is served on banana leaves, thus the leaves on the back of Malaysia's costume.

    They did explain that Singapore was a Super tree, but I wasn't sure if that was hyperbole from the hosts or the tree's actual name.

    Edit: Wait, it wasn't Singapore that was the super tree, it was Costa Rica. Singapore was a garden with LED lights, because garden equals LED?!

    Also I hope next year Miss America is from Texas and goes as brisket or pulled pork or something. WE HAVE CULTURAL FOODS TOO, WORLD, AND NOT JUST MCDONALDS.

    No I mean, I looked up her dress and it's the supertrees at Gardens by the Bay:

    And then at night they glow

    Not saying it's well-executed...

    E: Gardens by the Bay totally rules though, by the way

    The costume contest is where cosplay, high fashion and nationalism come together in a glorious car wreck

    Nah, that's SWTOR raid gear. Not enough tit window and hot pants for WoW.

    The Miss Universe Canada one is extra wild to me because it's the first time I've been at all familiar with the contestant outside of the context of the crazy costumes and I'm like "Yup, that's the former in-arena host for the Toronto Maple Leafs... dressed up as a shimmering LED snowflake"

    Someone put together an imgur gallery with all of the costumes

    somehow I'd missed that Romania had dressed up as a Dracula which is kind of predictable but I dig it
