Whoever designed or approved this should never work again, their taste is totally grotesque.

She's walking like a laborer carrying a hod!

Guess I haven't been paying attention for several years, but when did they start making them wear these over the top costumes?

German soprano Erna Berger (1900-1990) as ‘Queen of the Night’ in Wolgang Amadeus Mozart’s opera 'The Magic Flute’ ('Die Zauberflüte’) - Berlin, 1939.

Love your general take on the costume. Wonder how many times she went over before they got the weight balanced enough for the final effort.

It wouldn't be so bad without that round thing. Just work the stars up, or make it an eagle or rocket something like that.
This costume looks like it was designed last minute.

My cousin and his husband used to sponsor beauty queen contestants and even with all the bigotry and ugly ignorance they've experienced and witnessed as gay men they were still shocked by the narrow and limited, as well as limiting, view on who qualifies as beautiful.

The costume is hideous, I agree with others on that but that she is Filipino-American is wonderful.

There was a time when she would not have been the representative of the USA.

That costume looks like someone strapped a huge magnet to her back and made her walk through a junkyard.
