In spite of an early start, the contestants immediately beamed as they saw the sight of hundreds of colourful orchid leis welcoming them upon their arrival to the Orchid exhibition.
Miss Northern Ireland, who could not control her excitement at seeing the stunning and plentiful garland of flowers waiting to greet her said, “In China, orchids represent the inner and outer of beauty of women so I think it’s a perfect fit for us Miss World contestants to be here and celebrating this unique flower!”
As a special gift from local floral artisans, each Miss World contestant was presented with a handmade orchid crown, varying in colours and designs, for them to wear. Each crown was inspired by the beauty and femininity of the contestants, and the attention to detail and savoire faire that went into each headpiece was so unbelievable that, dare we say, our contestants, who later showcased the pieces on stage, looked like supermodels straight out of the most extravagant fashion show during Fashion Week!
“I feel like a princess”, said Miss
Ethiopia. “I don’t think I have ever felt this beautiful. I am
definitely considering getting one of these crowns for my wedding one
day!”
Miss Albania, who took countless selfies
with her headpiece, said “There is something so special about these
crowns. It’s like Miss World wants us to feel like we are all winners.”
We think she is definitely onto something!
Miss United States said, “Getting to learn more about the culture in
Sanya is one of the greatest things to come out of my experience at Miss
World. I would recommend any of my friends to visit and I am certainly
coming back soon!”
