The national costume for the latest Miss Universe Malaysia, Francisca Luhong James, was unveiled yesterday and boy, does it remind us of home.
That’s simply because the costume mostly comprises a replica of a wooden village house also known as
kampung. The 25-year-old was seen lugging the 45kg outfit created by local designer Carven Ong as she walked down an aisle during a press event. She also wears a doll on her head by doll designer Wesley Hilton that mimics her look.
