SASHES AND TIARAS.....Miss Universe 2014 National Costumes: My Top 15 Best Costumes

 Hockey Stick Marie Antoinette, Curacao Liqueur Diva, A Virgin and a Feathered Queen--Miss Universe 2014 Costume Show--FIU Arena, Florida International University Doral/Miami Florida

The Miss Universe National Costume Show occurred on Wednesday night during the 63rd Annual Miss Universe Preliminary Competition. This is always one of the most exciting events of the Miss Universe since it's all about "QUEENING OUT!"--costume-wise. It also gets the audience going since it's the one time the contestants from all over the world are representing their countries, cultures and showing their "pride", via what some would argue outlandish, over-the-top and sometimes Tacky-licious costumes. National costumes are intended to reflect their countries and cultures. Sometimes the results are, shall we say, eye popping! And this year at the Miss Universe, was no exception. I have put together my Top 15 Favorites from all the 88 contestants. These were the ones that really got me saying "You Go Girl!"...

While most the contestants have been dealing with fancy parties, dinners, photoshoots and enjoying South Florida in advance of the Finals on January 25th, Miss Costa Rica has also been dealing with a Wardrobe/Political Crisis. Last Friday, the designer of the National Costume in question--Daniel Moreira--received a call from the Department of Costa Rican Foreign Ministry Office of Protocol alerting him that Karina "Miss Universe Costa Rica 2014" Ramos, could not wear the costume that she brought with her designed by him, because it was adorned with Costa Rica's coat of arms and therefore was an inappropriate use of the national symbol. The "costume" in question was actually part of Daniel Moreira's collection shown at Mercedes-Benz San Jose (Costa Rica) Fashion Week 2013:
