Janine Tugonon National Costume in Miss Universe 2012 is Tribal-Inspired

The Miss Universe 2012 National Costume show (parade of nations) happened December 14 (December 15, MLA time) at the Planet Hollywood Resort and Casino in Las Vegas, Nevada. 

The 89 candidates showcased their ethnicity and creativity through the colorful costumes paraded during the event. Miss Universe-Philippines Janine Tugonon wore a sparkly silver and maroon tribal inspired national costume, a breath of fresh air from the usual terno our candidates used to wear on the pageant.

Take a look at Janine Tugonon's national costume below. According to reports, it was designed by a Filipino designer unlike previous national costumes of Philippine candidates which were Columbian-made. By the look of the dress, we can only infer that it came from the collection of national artist Pitoy Moreno.

Yesterday, Janine competed during the Miss Universe 2012 preliminary competition and she wowed the crowd with her Cobra Walk (check out the full video here). Her sterling performance in the preliminaries boosted her chances to be called as a semifinalists come coronation night in December 19 (to be aired via satellite December 20 at 9:30 AM on ABS-CBN).
