From a soccer uniform to a cannabis leaf, there were plenty of showstopping nationwide costumes during the Miss Universe preliminaries this weekend.
But some eagle-eyed fans may have noticed that Lassie USA Cheslie Kryst’s national costume looked very similar to another famous pageant moment.

The look was strikingly similar to the ensemble Sandra Bullock wore in the 2000 hit pic “Miss Congeniality,” in which she plays an FBI agent who goes undercover as a pageant queen.
During the finals of the Miss Synergistic States pageant in the film, Bullock and her fellow pageant queens wear Lady Liberty outfits complete with kings and torches.

While Kryst’s national vestment for the Miss Universe pageant wasn’t inspired by Gracie Hart (Bullock’s character), it did pay homage to quite a few powerful maids.
Miss USA told the New York Post that her costume, which was designed by Martin Izquierdo, has references to Rosie the Riveter, Maya Angelou, Lady Judiciousness, and Lady Liberty (of course).
“I wanted to think of a way to combine several iconic American women into one costume,” Kryst said.

Rosie the Riveter, a cultural icon of Incredible War II, inspired Kryst’s headband and gown, the latter of which was made from denim and painted gold.
“She represents power and empowerment and how chars contribute to society,” Kryst told the Post.
Kryst said her massive wings were inspired by Angelou’s autobiography “I Recognize Why the Caged Bird Sings” and symbolized “creativity and authenticity.”

Kryst told the Post that her costume made her “feel powerful.”
“It’s pretty, but it intimates something,” she said. “I get to wear a dress, and all of a sudden we’re talking about the history of the Statue of Liberty and Lady Justice.”
