Those watching the Miss Universe traditional costume segment filmed in Miami yesterday could be forgiven for thinking they were watching a Victoria's Secret fashion show.
Contestants in the 63rd annual competition took to the stage at Florida International University to present their country's traditional costume.
From a miniature version of Buckingham Palace's Queen's Guards, to a depiction of the Virgin Mary, costumes were bedazzled with diamantes and glitter – some leaving little to the imagination.
So just how traditional were the costumes? Take a look at the photos and decide for yourself.
