On the morning of November 17, Vietnam time, the Miss Universe 2024 final ended with the victory belonging to Victoria Kjaer Theilvig - a beauty from Denmark.
Notably, before the contestants in the top 12 officially performed in the evening gown competition, the remaining contestants also appeared in their evening gowns, as a gift from the Organizing Committee to the contestants who were not lucky enough to make it to the top.
Among them, Kyrgyzstan representative - Maya Turdalieva appeared in a striking red outfit.
Many astute viewers noticed that this dress was identical to the evening gown that Que Anh performed at Miss Grand International 2024.
Previously, this dress was performed by the Kyrgyz beauty at the semi-final night of Miss Universe 2024.
The evening dress, called "Firegown", was inspired by the strength and pride of a flame rising from the ashes.
The design stands out with a bright orange-red tone, along with sparkling stone details, creating a shimmering light effect when moving.
The body of the dress hugs the body and is slit high on the left side, helping the wearer to show off her body in a seductive way. The skirt of the dress has been removed compared to Que Anh's version.
In the evening gown competition at the semi-finals of Miss Grand International 2024, Miss Vo Le Que Anh also impressed with this outfit.
She had previously transformed from a black dress to a sparkling red-orange dress, implying a fire rising from the ashes.
The author of this costume is designer Nguyen Minh Tuan.
At this year's Miss Universe season, besides the representative of Kyrgyzstan, designer Nguyen Minh Tuan's team also created evening gowns for 10 other representatives, including Chile, China, Colombia, Croatia, France, Germany, Gibraltar, Paraguay, US Virgin Islands and Samoa.
The fact that the Kyrgyz beauty and Miss Que Anh wore the same evening gown caused beauty fans to constantly make comparisons.
Some opinions said that Que Anh had a more outstanding performance, expressing the meaning and delicate lines of this costume.
Meanwhile, many people believe that with the new rules of Miss Universe this year - when there are nearly 130 representatives - in the evening gown competition, each contestant is only allowed to appear for a few seconds in front of the camera and is not allowed to catwalk, which limits the performance of the Kyrgyzstan representative.
