Sofia Bhujel, Miss Universe Nepal, will compete for the title of Miss Universe in the persona of a goddess 'devi'.
Sophia will dress like a goddess and carry a trident to represent Nepal.
Women's Planet Boutique created the outfit based on Prerna Shah's vision.
According to the Miss Universe statement, this dress seeks to convey the message that women should be taken as a model for inspiration.
The color red is associated with blood and the power of creation. The trinity of creation, life, and death is represented by the trident.
According to the statement, "Other props are meant to communicate the notion of how physical beings generate magic in the cosmos".
The 71st Miss Universe pageant will be held on January 14 in New Orleans, Louisiana, USA.
Sophia, representing Nepal, left for America earlier this week.
This is the first Miss Universe pageant since Thailand took over as the host country.
