Divita made a statement during the national costume round by donning a golden attire in honour of her native India. The outfit, which was created by Abhishek Sharma, included “Sone Ki Chidiya,” or “the ethereal portrayal of India as the golden bird.”
The model from Karnataka, Divita Rai, was selected as LIVA Miss Diva Universe 2022.
With flapping wings, Divita graced the stage — personifying India’s rich, cultural heritage. She also wore accompanying golden headgear and jewellery to complete the look.
However, opinions on Rai’s sparkling attire are divided online. While some people described her appearance as “lovely,” others thought it was disappointing.
Designer Abhishek Sharma intended for this ensemble to showcase not only Indian culture but also India’s spiritual side.
Meanwhile, Bahrain’s Evlin Khalifa also arrived dressed totally in gold. The name of her clothing was “Al-dahr,” which is Arabic for “forever.” She claimed that her national attire symbolises the country’s golden anniversary.
