On Friday, 14 May, during the National Costume category for the 69th Miss Universe Competition in Hollywood, Florida, Miss Universe Malaysia 2020 Francisca Luhong James came dressed as kampung
Called 'Kampungku', the dress, which translates to 'my village', was inspired by traditional Malay kampong houses that dot the landscape in villages and rural areas across Peninsular Malaysia.
Francisca, who is a Dayak native with rich mixed roots in the Kayan-Kenyah-Iban lineage, wanted to evoke a sense of nostalgia through the dress that also served as a powerful reminder of one's humble beginnings.
