TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Miss Indonesia 2014, Elvira Devinamira, won the title for best national costume in Miss Universe beauty pageant at the Florida International University, in Miami, United States. The title served as a consolation for Elvira, who only made it to the top 15 round.
Elvira’s costume, "The Chronicle of Borobudur", was designed by Dynand Fariz, founder of the Jember Fashion Festival. "It weights 20 kilograms," said Elvira.
The gigantic costume was made of a combination of silk and traditional 'songket' motive while its beads and crystals were arranged to display an image of the Borobudur Temple.
Elvira's Borobudur costume defeated Argentina, Canada, German, and India in the top five best national costume.
