The Ukrainian showed a spectacular and at the same time militant image at the "Miss Universe" contest - with a sword and giant wings, TSN reports. 

Our country is represented at the competition by 28-year-old model Victoria Apanasenko.

The girl appeared on stage in a costume called "Warrior of Light", which consists of a white dress, blue and yellow armor with ornaments and large wings behind her back, and Victoria held a sword in her hands.

The author of the image, Ukrainian designer Lesya Patoka, was inspired by Archangel Michael, who is considered the protector of Kyiv.

The costume symbolizes the struggle of our people against darkness. 

It is symbolic that they created it for 4 months to the sound of sirens, by candlelight due to the lack of light, and the fitting took place in total cold due to the lack of heat due to Russian shelling.

The competition is held in New Orleans, USA.
