Fairly or unfairly, the Miss Universe Singapore (MUS) national costume almost invariably draws criticism.
And it is no different this year.
Some netizens have said that while the gown worn by Miss Mohanaprabha is pretty, it does not represent Singapore.
They also took issue with the fact that the costume was designed by Filipino fashion designer Michael Cinco, and also that it was not custom-made for the pageant.
It was a piece from Mr Cinco’s latest haute couture collection, The Impalpable Dream of Swan Lake. The costume was unveiled in Taguig, the Philippines, on Monday.
Instagram user islandssgd said: “Why did you deceive the Singaporeans by claiming that this costume is inspired by Vanda Miss Joaquim? (The) public deserve to know the truth.”
But others were supportive.
One user, simplybry12, said: “The gorgeous detailing around Mohana’s neck does resemble our national flower.”
MUS national director Valerie Lim, 34, defended the costume.
