Her costume referenced a February military coup and continued violence in Myanmar. Since elected leader Aung San Suu Kyi was overthrown, at least 790 people have been killed and over 5,000 people have been arrested, according to the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners activist group. "Our people are dying and being shot by the military every day," she said in a video shared during the competition.

But feathers and glitter aside, this year also saw the emergence of contestants using their turn in the spotlight for activism as well. "What is this platform for if I can’t use it to send a strong message of resistance against prejudice and violence," Miss Singapore, Bernadette Belle Ong, wrote on her Instagram after the show. "Thank you Miss Universe for giving me this opportunity!"
Three-Way Tie Between Miss Myanmar, Thuzar Wint Lwin, Miss Uruguay, Lola de los Santos, and Miss Singapore, Bernadette Belle Ong Taking activism to the runway, this year's Miss Universe contestants made statements—both sartorial and political—to their audience.
Best Use of Feathers: Miss Peru, Janick Maceta Del Castill. Rising above the rest, Miss Peru's feathers were the most futuristic and streamlined that didn't overwhelm the senses.
Most Likely to Get Lion Queen Spin-Off: Miss Nicaragua, Ana Marcelo. Broadway's Lion King has got nothing on Miss Nicaragua's regally leonine costume.
Best Hatching: Miss Vietnam, Nguyen Tran Khanh Van. Miss Malaysia brought on a full-on theatrical production to the stage, complete with a colour transition and quick costume change.
Most Theatrical: Miss Malaysia, Francisca James. Miss Malaysia brought on a full-on theatrical production to the stage, complete with a colour transition and quick costume change.
Most Sexy Cyborg: Miss Canada, Nova Stevens. This is one superhero we desperately want to see up there with Wonder Woman and Captain Marvel.
Most Amount of Feathers Used: Miss Denmark Amanda Petri. The sheer amount of feathers that went into the making of this costume just blew our mind.
Best Interpretation of an Animal: Miss Thailand, Amanda Obdam. Taking inspiration from the Siamese fighting fish, Miss Thailand's ethereal, flowy number captured the undulating beauty of the aquatic animal.
Most Astrologically Aligned: Miss Puerto Rico, Estefanía Soto. Want to know what the stars have in store for you? Don't worry, Miss Puerto Rico's got you covered.
Most Likely a Victoria's Secret Fashion Show Costume: Miss Philippines, Rabiya Mateo.With two enormous wings connected by gold stars, Miss Philippines could take a turn on the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show runway and we wouldn't bat an eye.
Most Likely to Give a Papercut: Miss Ukraine, Yelyzaveta Yastremska. This angelic outfit inspired by the art of paper cutting was a clear cut winner in our books.
Best Booty: Miss Panama Carmen Jaramillo. Why be a diamond in the rough, when you can be the whole treasure trove?

The National Costume of Miss Denmark is inspired by the famous fairy tale "The Little Mermaid" by the Danish author Hans Christian Andersen. The story followed the journey of a young mermaid who was willing to give up her life in the sea as a mermaid to gain a human soul. The tale was first published in 1837 as part of a collection of fairy tales for children & has become one of the most well known fairy tales ever.
The design illustrates the mystical creature and takes us to the magical world - a perfect mix between fantasy and reality. The design illustrates The Little Mermaid & her tragic love story. The handmade costume is a combination of fabrics in different textures, shapes, colors & more than 3.000 feathers, which achieves a very interesting optical effect, with crystals and beaded necklaces, which gives a lot of movement to the design.
