Miss Universe, Miss Ukraine's angelic, battle-hardened dress inspired by archangel St. Michael On stage, Ukrainian model opens wings and wields sword (Yesterday) War also passes through the Miss Universe pageant so much so that Miss Ukraine chose an angelic yet bellicose dress during the ceremony scheduled in New Orleans, USA. Viktoria Apanasenko took the stage opening her large wings and brandishing a sword. Numerous comments addressed to the 28-year-old: "I'm not usually interested in Miss Universe pageants, but this is a very unique costume," wrote one user while another "I like it but it's also scary." The elements of the battle are all there: the gold-colored monolithic jumpsuit, the white dress with puffed sleeves and a skirt, made from more than 10 meters of fabric, the multilayer pattern, the blue and yellow wings, the crown, sword and armor. "Here is the costume of the Warrior of Light" symbolizes our nation's struggle against darkness wrote Apanasenko adding "Like Archangel Michael," who is the patron saint of Kiev.
