Shweta Sharda, who is representing India at the Miss Universe 2023 contest, wore an unique and interesting outfit for the National Costume Round. 

Shweta Sharda’s ensemble at the National Costume Round exuded elegance. For the competition, she wore a regal embroidered blouse paired with a heavily embellished traditional skirt. She complemented her attire with an ornate golden headgear and a selection of bold and chunky accessories, creating a blend of tradition and opulence in her look.

She also took to her Instagram handle and shared a series of pictures of herself where she mentioned what the costume symbolises. Her costume was designed by Nidhi Yasha. 

In the caption, she wrote, ”India’s National Costume designed by @nidhiyasha symbolizes a new, resilient India, weathering storms and emerging powerful. It embodies diversity, integrity, strength, and resilience, showcased in an armoured goddess look. The power shoulders and engineered bodice highlight the feminine form’s gentle yet strong disposition.”

Mentioning about the headgear, she wrote, ”The headgear features a lotus halo, representing the coexistence of India’s diverse religions and cultures, with the lotus as the national flower. The lower half resembles a mystical golden peacock, India’s national bird, with handcrafted peacock feather embroidery.”
