By
the way, where is the 2015 Vietnamese beauty contestant: Miss (communist)
Vietnam?
Unfortunately,
no one saw her in this beauty contest?
If
she WERE chosen by the VC and showed up, she could have been crowned:
Miss International Beauty Pageant instead of Miss Venezuela !!

Sexy
spaceships, vibrant peacocks and ornate temples: The outrageous costumes at the
Miss International Beauty Pageant as Miss Venezuela is crowned the winner.
In its 55th year, the Miss International beauty pageant was held
today in Tokyo. Representatives from 70 countries and regions took part. A
highlight of the pageant was the national costume stage, where the beauties
were asked to wear an outfit inspired by their home country. The blonde
bombshell representing the USA wore a truly out-of-this-world costume inspired
by the country's space programme NASA

Lindsay Becker teamed a skintight white and silver catsuit adorned
with a NASA badge with knee-high white PVC boots and an astronaut helmet. She
also wore a cardboard spaceship as a backpack, complete with firing jets, a
sparkly American flag and a moon, which created an ethereal halo above
Lindsay's head

Miss Paraguay Monica Mariani Pascualoto displays her national
costume during the Miss International beauty pageant in Tokyo on November 5
2015. Representatives from 70 countries and regions took part in the beauty
pageant
+28
Miss Honduras Jennifer Valle displays her national costume during
the Miss International beauty pageant in Tokyo. She opted for peacock feathers
for her green and orange outfit, despite the national bird of Honduras being
the colourful scarlet macaw
+28
Miss India Supriya Aiman wore a heavy-looking pagoda-inspired
outfit based on the Vishwa Shanti Stupa in Delhi. Her outfit also featured
peacocks, India's national bird, although this time they had pink spiky
feathers like a lotus flower. The gold tear-drop shapes were decorated with
cut-out hearts and lead up to the main dome, which was decorated with a Buddha
statue. Supriya also wore an intricate multi-layered gold dress with a
water-lily and gold chain embroidered waist belt, a heavy gold collar necklace
and embroidered headdress
+28
Another intricate costume came from Miss Indonesia, Chintya
Fabiola. Inspired by the traditional dress worn by folk dancers, Chintya made a
few moves herself, using her embellished staff as a prop. Her tall gold
headdress was complemented by two gold tassled 'wings', a collar, a belt, cuffs
and shin-high platform boots
+28
Miss Malaysia was all about the textiles, wearing a heavily
embroidered multi-coloured dress lined with gold. The aptly named Immaculate
Lojuki dangled with coloured beads as she held out the wings to her skirt, the
width balanced by samurai-eque shoulder pads and a flamboyant headdress with
feathers and black and white flowers with sparkly pollen
+28
Miss Bolivia reflected her country's flag looking radiant in red,
green and yellow. Alejandra Panozo Muguertegui's dress harped back to the style
of Bolivia's folk costume, but was a little bit on the shorter side so she
could show off her perfect pins and sparkly knee-high boots. Her collar was
adorned with kantuta flowers, the national flower of Bolivia, and she held a
model of an exotic-looking bird with red, green and yellow tail feathers
+28
Miss Argentina Helena Zuiani went all out with the bird look,
giving herself wings made of orange, brown and grey and white striped feathers,
and an ostrich-like plume skirt. Helena's look was completed with a jewelled
bodice and crown.
+28
Miss Thailand wore the traditional dress of a fingernail dancer,
which you would recognise if you have ever been to Thailand, or indeed a fancy
Thai restaurant. Of course Sasi Sintawee wore a particularly intricate one,
with a temple-inspired headdress which is so detailed and tall it wouldn't look
out of place in a Thai miniature village. The gold continued around the collar,
cuffs and waist, with her dress itself made in a sumptuous red silk with
Oriental skirt folds and fabric design
+28
Miss Peru also impressed on the headwear stakes with what looks
like an upside down herb chopper on her crown. Cynthia Lucia Toth Montoro's
balance is perhaps helped by her fan-like golden wings, dotted with blue gems
and fringed with blue feathers. Her look is completed with a golden sparkly
skirt, shoes and cropped Madonna-esque bodice
+28
There's no prizes for guessing what inspired Miss Netherlands'
outfit. Rachel van der Meulen went all out patriotic dressed in her nation's
flag colours of red white and blue, plus she adorned Holland's icon on her back
in the form of windmill wings.
+28
Of course Miss Spain had to have a flamenco-inspired skirt, with
layers of tulle swinging as she walked. But Cristina Silva forewent the
traditional red for a soft ivory with pastel swirls on the sleeves and top of
her high-neck body-hugging dress
+28
Miss Singapore came dressed as the country's mascot, the half-lion
half-fish Merlion. Covered in silver scales, Roxanne Zhang's fish tail breaks
into white feathers, which look like a bit like flaked white fish meat, which
we guess was the desired effect. Wearing an extravagant pearl necklace, her
sparkly lion headdress has a mane of white and black and white striped
feathers.
+28
Portugal's instantly recognisable blue-and-white tiles formed the
basis of Miss Portugal's skirt pattern. The full skirt, held out by a crinoline
petticoat, depicts traditional houses, instruments and scenes in the tiled
design. Isabel Vieira teamed the skirt with an off-the-shoulder top with
ruffled edging and a grey waist belt
+28
Sabrina Yeung represented Hong Kong with a beautiful maroon silk
skirt embroidered with cherry blossom - which blooms in the country's parks and
streets come spring time - and a Chinese dragon. With sky-high sparkly silver
platforms and holding a red fan, she also wore a floral halterneck crop top and
intricate comb in her hair.
+28
Miss Brazil stepped back in time with a disco-inspired tie-dye
jumpsuit. Isis Stocco's flared sleeves and trousers took audiences back to the
Seventies with the disco ball print ensuring they had a boogie while they were
there. The blue tie-dye skirt, though offered shades of the Nineties - and to
be honest we're not sure what any of it has to do with Brazil.
+28
Miss Canada Kathryn Kohut represented the Canadian flag in her
figure-hugging white and red dress and flowing cape embroidered with the iconic
maple leaf. She glammed up the look with a red and silver crown.
+28
Miss Colombia appeared to take a classically colourful patterned
blanket and tie it around her waist to wear as a skirt. We'll wait for that one
to catch on - or perhaps she had a wardrobe malfunction with her original
skirt? Either way Natalia Ochoa Calle's top and crown had a bit more effort put
into them, adorned with sparkly gold butterflies and flowers
+28
El Salvador kept things simple with Eugenia Avalos wearing a white
cotton dress depicting vibrant scenes of a classic country landscape, as well
as pottery and a colourful toucan
+28
Miss FinlandSaara Ahlberg looked like she was expecting a groom to
be at the end of the catwalk as she appeared in this wedding dress style gown
and wearing a diamante tiara
+28
Miss Venezuela Edymar Martinez fended off competition from
beauties from 70 countries and regions across the globe to be crowned Miss
International 2015 (pictured)
+28
Wearing an elegant white dress glittering with sequins and pearls,
Edymar smiled through happy tears and hugged herself as she was presented with
her crowning glory
+28
The pearl-dotted, red velvet and fur trim crown and an embroidered
white cloak were placed on Edymar by a smiling Miss International 2014, Valerie
Hernandez Matias from Puerto Rico
+28
Miss Venezuela bursts into tears as she is announced as Miss
International 2015. Miss Singapore, Miss Romania and another contestant do
their best to smile and applaud for the camera behind her
+28
Miss Venezuela was also elected Miss Perfect Body thanks to her
slim, toned physique which she showed off in a navy blue bikini with
diamante-studded straps and strappy PVC high heels
