In a captivating exhibition of cultural fusion, Bryoni Govender, South Africa’s first-runner up for Miss Universe, recently seized the spotlight with a national costume that artfully marries African and Indian influences.

Designed by the talented Casey Jeanne, a renowned bridal designer making her foray into the world of pageantry, Govender’s gown is a contemporary interpretation of the traditional sari. Embellished with intricate Zulu and Ndebele beading, it intricately weaves together the geometric shapes characteristic of these cultures.

Jeanne faced a unique challenge in creating her inaugural national costume for a Miss Universe contestant. With a determination to steer clear of a “gaudy” ensemble. Jeanne sought to capture the essence of a sari while injecting the vibrancy of Zulu beading.
