Miss Universe 2022 was held at the New Orleans Morial Convention Center in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Miss Universe Nepal Sophiya Bhujel wore a red outfit and held a trident in her hand to turn into Goddess Kali at the Miss Universe 2022. She walked the stage in a red sari with golden prints paired with a red blouse. The Nepalese model participated in the National Costume Competition of Miss Universe in New Orleans, Louisiana.
Sophiya took her tongue out and painted her forehead with a third eye to turn into Goddess Kali, who represents strength and the destruction of evil. She also wore a nose ring and a golden necklace, while her costume represented ‘Shakti,’ the divine feminine personified as a goddess. Her look conveys that a woman is a ‘boundless source of energy.’
Her costume best represented her country, known as a land of traditions and goddess worship. Her look has been making rounds on the internet since she walked on the stage as a goddess and has impressed netizens. People found it to be an apt representation of Nepal and a costume attached to the roots.
The new Miss Universe will be crowned on January 14. Harnaaz Sandhu from India won the last edition of the Miss Universe contest, while Divita Rai is representing India this year.
