Looks like a rug from Arab Street.

There is no such thing as a Singapore national costume. It doesn't exist. To invent one will be stupid.

unless u wear a merlion costume

Dalforce 25 SG

Agree, just wear according to your ethnicity.

looks like maybe they have some sort of stupid theme, that's why everyone try and look like chicken or duck. In that case...carpet not so bad afterall.

If so, the carpet design may not be a bad move. Maybe it symbolises a flying carpet?

Flying carpet VS Bird?

magic carpet fly go where...?

Dalforce 25 SG

To arabia lah. Where else?

FireIce SG

looking at other countries’ costumes, seems like ours nt tt bad actually

Dalforce 25 SG

Flying carpet vs bird, carpet wins. Ye!

I support Singapore carpet girl!

Loor SG

so how far did the carpet end up flying? Never past first round as usual?

Ours may be less stupid than some of the other costumes.

But stupid is stupid, regardless of magnitude. Just because ours is less stupid doesn't mean that it is smart.

Frankly speaking, why can't everyone just wear the standard version of their own national costumes?

What's wrong with making our model wear a good ol' cheongsam/sari/kebaya?

vivien SG

Well, we can't please everyone so might just continue with it. Singapore is a country with identity issues, we are all bunch of immigrants from all over the place to make a good living here. Maybe they can use the Singapore dollar to make a dress for Miss Singapore next year.

Loor SG

a bunch of immigrants....

not sure what u mean by that, but in one way, you can say that for many other countries too.

FireIce SG

it will be rojak every year bcos every year we are trying to blend all our ethnic costumes' elements into one

perhaps we shd just promote tt as our identity

Loor SG

so it appears Ms Angola won.....not a sth american country winner for once! (not that there's anything wrong)

the sgp magic carpet will need to fly again.
