This is the winning costume from the Northern Marianas. Sorene Maratita won in this costume. She will be representing us in the Miss Universe Pageant this year.

Here is the costume description:

During the earlier years under Spain, Sorene’s costume represents the Mistisa, once used by the wives and daughters of the Ilustrados, with a touch of today’s modern day flair.

White pearls and gems signify our white sandy beaches, while the blue Mistisa reflects the crystal water surrounding our islands. Decorated Plumeria and Hibiscus flowers complete the modernization, and are also the most captivating flowers found in the CNMI.

She is holding a holy Rosary that symbolizes the catholic faith that is still strongly present in our islands. Lastly, her costume is dedicated to Queen Mariana, who the Northern MARIANA Islands was named after.

I should agree on NETZKIE saying that it's more of a PHILIPPINE costume. YET, it doesn't give me much better impression.
I'm waiting...

I agree with everyone that it's very Filipina but i find it over do and very busy. Over with the color blue (in different shades) and flower designs.. it doesn't work well for me..

it's fabulous and brings the color blue to a different level, however, the costume doesn't look well-coordinated. but as they say, it's not the gown/costume, it's the "girl" that wears it!

It would have been a lot better if they used the traditional Saya of The Philippines, since most people from the Northern Marianas, particulary Saipan are Filipino immigrants.
It is our choices... that show what we truly are, far more than our abilities.
