❀ PUERTO RICO'S NatCo FOR Miss Universe'19 ❀

Naturaleza Dorada or Golden Nature is the name of our national costume for Miss Universe 2019.



Our national costume for Miss Universe 2019 is inspired in Puerto Rico's national flower, the Maga flower, and our national symbol the golden Coquí or singing frog, endemic to our island. As explained by the creator of this costume Joshuan Aponte, the golden coquí can only sing on the island of Puerto Rico and is also an endangered species, so it is very special to us. The costume also incorporates sound effects with the coquí singing as Madison makes the flower bloom. As a small detail, Madison is wearing a pair of butterfly earrings designed just for her as a representation of her individual character and as a wink to her nickname "La mariposa".

It looks beautiful and coherent! (Unlike the one of last year which was a bit messy eventhough I liked it)
Congratulations PR.

Is that supposed to be a frog on her body?

I wished they choose a different hibiscus color aside from red, because in this case, it looks like a rafflessia or whatever they call it.

It is not a hibiscus flower. The Maga flower, which is endemic to Puerto Rico, although a bit similar to the hibiscus flower, belongs to a different genus. Its scientific name is Thespesia grandiflora, it grows on a big tree, and it is our national flower. They chose red for the costume because the flower of the Maga tree is exclusively red.

Here is another example of the flower and the tree:

As for the frog, yes, it is a frog. Also endemic to Puerto Rico, the golden coquí, or Eleutherodactylus jasperi. A very special national symbol for us Puerto Ricans.

This one is from the same designer, he said he designed it last year while watching Kiara present his creation on the Miss Universe stage. Last year, his design meant a lot for us in Puerto Rico but I guess it was difficult for other people to understand. For this year though, he wanted something that was extremely typical of the island, so he chose our two most important national symbols, the Maga and the coquí. Everyone on the island loves it! :hx

The costume is beautiful.

But it’s the wrong one for her. She should be donning something related to the Stars & Stripes, the American eagle, the Star Spangled Banner, or something native to Florida. She shouldn’t be wearing something for Puerto Ricans.

Don’t care about how it fits her. She’ll clap at Miss Universe, anyway. She should not be wearing it, period.

I don't like her makeup simply because I would have made eyes colors of gold/bronze and the lips could be either red or nude; I wouldn't have done a black smokey eye with the red lips

PROS: The golden coqui looks amazing and I love the fact that they implemented the audio of the coqui into the costume. ISN'T TECHNOLOGY GREAT??? Also the boots are to die for. I am a sucker for boots in national costumes.

CONS: Is it me or is everyone doing flower related national costumes recently? Last year there were sooo many flower related costumes that I lost count. I guess I was expecting more considering last year's amazing work of art, but Madison looks GORGEOUS, and she can walk in it so I can't complain. =;))

And cause I have nothing else to do with my life, here is a list of all the countries that used their national flowers as inspiration for their national costumes in last year's Miss Universe.

Argentina
Australia
Colombia
Guam
Malta
New Zealand
USA

Close Enough?
Canada (maple leaf)
Iceland (wildflowers)
Paraguay (lapacho, their national tree)
Spain (used their country's most recognizable flower in the costume, but it's not the overall theme of the costume)

Is the national flower slowly becoming the new tribe trend? Or am I just over analyzing things like always? You decide.

I like it but I would've liked it more if it were a bit smaller. Its overwhelming and you can tell its hard for her to carry it.

I just feel bad for some of these girls that have to assemble their costumes backstage as if it were IKEA furniture or carry a small house on their back. #:-S

I honestly hear Denise talking and they sound like they are not playing around last year, this year or any year
