Miss Universe 2012 Part 13 - National Costumes

The national costume competition of Miss Universe 2012.

My favourite latin costumes:

The best latin national costume: Miss Uruguay
This is non-traditional Uruguayan costume. This costume is funny, cute and very creative. I like the "sun" she is carrying. It also symbolizes the Uruguayan flag. You can tell she is Miss Uruguay from this costume without wearing the sash.























1st runner-up national costume: Miss Colombia
Love this costume, it is very bright and colorful. I personally love two macaws so much.























2nd runner-up national costume: Miss Panama
Another eye-catching huge costume from Panama!
