What Miss Universe Malaysia's Nasi Lemak Dress Looks Like Compared To 91 Other Countries

Apart from the get-up that was unveiled last month, Miss Universe Malaysia Samantha Katie James also brought with her a set of giant glittery cutlery to accompany the dress.

The National Costume Show was held at Planet Hollywood in Las Vegas on Saturday, 25 November ahead of the grand event on 26 November, where contestants from 92 countries and territories vied for the title of Miss Universe 2017. 

That's a gorgeous gown... but we still can't figure out why she's carrying a street lamp post. 

The white folds are supposed to represent the Sydney Opera House while the sparkly things on her back are fireworks.

Inspired by the Canadian Rocky Mountains, Miss Canada's fluffy Ice Queen costume actually looks much better up close, especially the head dress and collar:

Miss Ecuador's gown has an interchangeable train!

If you're wondering why France's national costume features a giant Olympics logo, it's because Paris was just announced as the host for the 2024 Summer Olympics earlier this year. 

Yep, it's basically a Snow White costume. 

The first Viking-inspired ensemble of the night, Miss Iceland's costume features a feathered cow skull headpiece and is armed with an awesome bejewelled axe! 

Inspired by the orang utan, Miss Indonesia's national costume looks pretty normal... until she turns around and you suddenly find a pair eyes from a stuffed orang utan starring into your soul.

Looks familiar? That's because Miss Israel's costume is most probably inspired by the 2004 Miss Israel a.k.a. Gal Gadot a.k.a. Wonder Woman!

Miss Japan's national costume is actually two ensembles in one! Though it looked like a Japanese samurai warrior's get-up when she walked onstage, it unfurls into a kimono-inspired dress when she unclips her top.

If you haven't figured it out based on the paint brush and artist's palette, Miss Mexico's national costume is inspired by renowned Mexican painter Frida Kahlo (also evident in the painted-on eyebrows and Kahlo's iconic flower headdress!).

Last year's Miss Myanmar won Best National Costume when she dressed up as a marionette theatre. This year's Miss Myanmar took it up a few notches, dressing up as the Myanmar Traditional Orchestra, complete with drums and gongs!

Another Viking-inspired costume, this time with a dual-horn helmet, a blue cape, as well as intricate gauntlets and boots. 

Our personal favourite, Miss Thailand's national costume is called "Chasing the Light' and inspired by an ancient story depicting the existence of thunder and lightning, in which she plays the God of Thunder and the doll depicts the God of Lightning. 

Check out the stunning attention to detail on the headdress and, well, the entire costume!

She's an atom, btw.
