From swords to fans, tiaras to angel wings, the Miss Universe contestants for 2010 pulled out all the stops for the national costume section of this year’s event. Wild and wacky or modern day interpretations of traditional dress? You be the judge.
Their costumes represent their pride, their history and their arts. Through the dresses of more than 80 candidates, we can truly comprehend what the candidates are trying to express. Through the piece of cloth and design they are bearing, we can understand the contestant’s historical values.
Bearing, grace, artistry and design are the factors to be considered in choosing the Best in National Costume. Plus the overall charm of the ladies wearing their dresses and giving justice to it. Here are the photos of Miss Universe 2010 contestants in their National Costumes.

Ms. Philippines is really a true filipina beauty….
what happened to ms china’s national costume??? its kinda cute but it so simple..anyways..
Go…Miss Indonesia
Where is Miss Bolivia? You have all the contestants except Bolivia … this sucks
One thing I dislike about the candidates from the Philippines is that they are not purely Filipinos. >:-(
for your information ms. philippines is a pure filipino she live in region 5 called the bicol region in the philippines
For your information, too, Mr. Alfred, Ms. Raj’s real father is an Indian, but he left Raj and her mother when she was still a baby. The story of her life is quite inspiring, and I believe that she deserved the crown more than anybody else. My point is the Philippines must choose a pure Filipino representative. Not only the Philippines but also with other countries. Aren’t you proud of your beauty?
My point for you 2 mr. alfred and ms. miranda is that whatever is Ms. Venus Raj’s nationality, she is still a proud and beautiful FILIPINA woman who is PROUD TO BE A FILIPINO
PHILIPPINES ROCKS AND THE BEST ! ! !
i think miss Albania has the best looking, chic costume
i really love the costume of miss ITALY ….. she looks like a real warrior ….
