The Miss Universe 2013 National Costume show (parade of nations) happened November 3 (November 4, MLA time) at the Vegas Mall in Moscow, Russia. The Philippines' very own Ariella Arida was one of the most-applauded candidates wearing her national costume.
The 86 candidates showcased their ethnicity and creativity through the colorful costumes paraded during the event. Miss Universe-Philippines Ariella Arida wore a sparkly nude-colored Filipiniana as her national costume. The gown was adorned with beaded butterfly sleeves and top, an electric pleated skirt and a feathered head dress as accent.
Ara Arida carried the national costume very well and with sophistication and elegance. Her aura shines through despite fans clamoring for grander and more creative costume this time. By the look of the costume, it can be inferred that it was Columbian-made, another Alfredo Barraza creation.
Watch the video below of OPMB worldwide's Adam Mears showing how Ara worked the gown in front of her Filipino fans in Moscow.
