Of course they are going to make sure that the gowns worn at prelim and finals are their own designs. We would do exactly the same if we were in their position. It’s like asking Channel to allow an unaffiliated designer to share in a Channel runway show. Absolutely NOT! If you have a problem with it then just buy the franchise from them.
Agreed. I would do the exact same too. They have a business to promote and Im sure this is the main reason they bought the franchise - to use it as a platform to show off their designs on a world stage. Whether we like it or not, its a business move for them. And I wont tell them to get other designers cause I sure wouldn't. But I will just hope that they get more innovative.
And if you noticed, this year, I havent complained about the fashion choices at all on here, because whats the point? We literally complain about the same thing year after after after year, and after over a decade, nothing has changed. And once Uzuri is still the franchise holder, nothing will change. So it makes no sense to complain.
And I may sound like a broken record but Im gonna say it again. Toshami is not being judge on her outfit choices, etc. now, or even when she gets to New Orleans and she's attending diff activities during the week prior to the pageant. I just want her to have a good interview outfit (Deana's outfit last year was horrendous). And I want her to have a good gown. The ladies will also be designing their own capes for the swimsuit competition this year too and I hope Uzuri does something nice there as well. Everything else, it is what it is and what its going to be is what it will be. I remember the year Miqueal competed when everyone was raving about Miss Thailand carrying like over 100 pieces of designer clothing to Miss Universe and Miqueal Symone's wardrobe that entire time were a hit or miss. But guess what, they both ended up in the Top 10. Their evening gowns killed their chances of excelling further and partially Miqueal's late entry to the stage. So if Uzuri can recreate the magic of Kaci's gown which sealed the deal for her in Top 5, and recreate the magic of Davina Bennett's gown which stood out from the rest and gave her one of the highest EG scores, and if they can recreate the stunning EG Miqueal wore during the preliminaries, then they have done their job. Everything else is gonna be a hit or miss, some of which will be tacky and we just need to accept that lol.
